Wolf Spider

Thanks for your feed back. Will surely look into it.

Emma, I've searched my field guides but can't find the species (my spider guide is for the Eastern states) so I'm really sorry, all I can suggest is either trawling through Lycosidae on bugguide.net, or submitting a photo to them & seeing if their experts can help.

Jason, please can you always add the scientific name & a reference link when you make an ID suggestion!

I agree.

looks like a female wolf spider and her egg sac
