I found her running across the driveway this afternoon following a rain shower. She's slightly over one centimeter in length, legs included, and is very fast and feisty. Her overall morphology and personality suggest Amerobiidae(Hacklemesh Weavers), but the color is throwing me, since all the specimens of Hacklemesh Weavers I've seen were mostly brown. I've also never found one running across open ground like this spider was. I don't see any spinnerettes, like I'd expect to see if this was a Gnaphosidae Ground Spider, which is the other suspect.
