The desert grass spider (Agelenopsis aperta) is a species of spider belonging to the family Agelenidae. It is found in dry regions across the southern United States and into Mexico.This long-legged spider is rather similar to its congeners but the overall colour is grey rather than the more usual brown. The body length (excluding legs) is up to 19 mm the female averaging slightly larger (otherwise the sexes are similar). The pale grey carapace is marked with two prominent dark stripes.
