    Default Spider IDs

    I've had to put a LOT of these spiders outside over the past few days and was just wondering if you could help me out... trying to figure out what type of spider it is. Not seen one with these markings before.

    We used to get a lot of cellar spiders although I haven't seen one for months now but haven't seen any since we started getting these ones.

    It looks like a Wolf Spider Pardosa amentata.
