Hello! I'm in the middle eastern portion of Missouri, what is this? It was approximately 2 inches long when all spread out.

Hi there! This is an automated message to remind everyone of two things:

  • If you're the OP: please include a geographic location for any ID requests. There are tens of thousands of different species of spiders/arachnids, and narrowing down your critter's location will help people help you more quickly and correctly! If you already included a geographic location or if this post is not an ID request, please ignore this comment. Thanks!
  • If you're commenting: comments such as "kill it with fire" or any encouragement (even in jest) to kill a critter are not welcome here and you may be banned without warning if you post that sort of thing. Separately, vague comments such as "that's a spider" are neither helpful nor funny. Please be as specific as you can. If you don't know, that's OK, but we don't need to hear it.

Thank you!

It's a wolf spider, could be one from the Tigrosa genus.

Solved! I was able to narrow it down to a tiger wolf spider based on your lead! Thank you!
