What spider is this?
Long Leg-ged
One of the Cellar Spiders, I think.
Definitely NOT a cellar spider. Still working on it.
I think this is the same and it appears to be consuming a moth.
I think that I've finally run it down - I believe that it is a very atypical (to me, anyway) huntsman spider (family Sparassidae) in the genus Anaptomecus. See https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/126428-Anaptomecus-longiventris for an example (not the same species as yours).
Thank you Flap body layout certainly is the same.
I initially had dismissed Sparassidae as a possibility because of its apparent eye pattern. It took me a while to realize that one pair of its eyes was nearly invisible because their color so closely matched that of their background.
Thanks very much for the detailed examination.
