The common American grass spider (Agelenopsis actuosa actuosa = active agile) is a species of grass spider native to southeastern Canada and the New England states. It is sometimes also encountered in such states as Michigan and New York.The species are rather similar to those of the Agelena genus instead of Agelenopsis mainly because of their paler coloring and the meeting of the two lines on the cephalothorax (near the abdomen) which are usually parallel in other species.
