Isopeda flavida? Probably a juvenile. Male (as males like to wander at this time of year.

I went with Isopeda because of the very rounded carapace and flavida from tge spots on the (juvenile) legs. Did I get it terribly wrong?

You might be right Bob. I put my Neosparassus suggestion as a comment only, because I was undecided. The elevated carapace (flat in Isopeda), pattern of radiating flecks on the carapace, and the relatively shorter legs indicated Neosparassus to me.

Thanks Kim. Elevated carapace was something I missed. Will likely remain unconfirmed as he has apparently left my garage.
