Pardosa
They are robust and agile hunters, living mostly solitary lives and hunting alone. Some are opportunistic hunters pouncing upon prey as they find it or even chasing it over short distances. Some will wait for passing prey in or near the mouth of a burrow. They have eight eyes arranged in three rows. The bottom row consists of four small eyes, the middle row has two very large eyes, and the top row has two medium-sized eyes. They depend on their excellent eyesight to hunt. They also possess an acute sense of touch.
Seen at Jordan Lake shore.

Thank you, harsuame. You always have such nice comments. I was happy to see the male to complement my spotting of the female with an egg sac.
