Hippasa sp.
Lycosidae is a worldwide family of ground-living spiders. Most are free living and are the most likely to be encountered in the field. They will be seen running away through the grass as one walks along. They are commonly known as wolf spiders because they run down their prey. Although lycosids are not too difficult to recognise in the field, the taxonomy of the family is still far from settled.
Seen at a small forest near a river.
