Hi! I found this guy inside of my house today and have spent the past two hours online trying to figure out what he was with no luck. Wondering if anyone here has any ideas? I live in Michigan, and he was approximately as big as a half dollar. Thanks!
It looks a lot like a wolf spider Rabidosa rabida

This is a grass/funnel web spider, an Agelenopsis sp. in the family Agelenidae - see http://tinyurl.com/qj7xon. Note the long spinnerets at the end of its abdomen; this, along with their eye pattern (which cannot be seen on this specimen) distinguishes these spiders from very similar-appearing wolf spiders.
