Hello! We live in Northeastern Oklahoma (Tulsa area to be exact) in a suburban neighborhood. No acres of wilderness around us, all city streets. We came home this evening to find a TERRIFYING spider in our laundry room of all places, feasting on a cricket. Neither my roommate nor myself felt comfortable letting it roam our home, so we killed it, but we need to know WHAT IT IS!!! I had surmised it was a wolf spider, but it lacks the thickness & fuzziness associated with the species. Any help would be greatly appreciated & I can answer all questions the picture/descriptions leave unanswered.

Description:
- LARGE brown/tan spider (approx. 3"+)
- Long, thin brown legs (not hairy/fuzzy)
- Black/dark brown front legs
- CLEARLY MARKED abdomen; dark brown stripes on front section, single intricate stripe on rear
- Glowing blue eyes (when flash used)
- Yellowish underbelly

Characteristics:
- FAST runner
- Hyper aware of surroundings
- Confident (ie: approached roommate & myself versus hiding)
- Hunter? There was NO cricket in the laundry room earlier in the evening, so we assume the spider hunted & killed the bug. Not a simple task!
