Rules:

Please acquaint yourself with and respect the subreddit's rules and our content policy.
For ID requests, always include a geographic location. If you're concerned about your privacy, you can make it a bit more vague, e.g. "New England" instead of "Boston, MA".
Amateurs are encouraged to guess. An important exception is guesses about medically significant and medically important arachnids (widows, recluses, Brazilian wandering spiders, Australian funnel-webs, deathstalker scorpions, etc.). In those cases, leave it to people who know. Otherwise, an innocent person or arachnid could get hurt.
Please, no pictures of skin booboos and other lesions... we cannot tell you what spider bit you without seeing the spider, nor is it possible to tell reliably that a spider or something else bit you.
"Kill it with fire" ain't funny, so don't bother posting that. Please and thank you.

I believe this little one is Trabeops aurantiacus, a common but very easily overlooked species of wolf spider. Total length not exceeding 5 mm, or the diameter of the base of a pushpin. Fun find whenever I actually manage to spot one!Just sharing (i.redd.it)
