Great capture! You might like to add this to a couple of missions - Brooding Behavior in Arthropods & International Spider Survey. If you click on the Missions tab above & go to Global missions you can browse & join any that interest you. Any local missions for your region will be listed on the Local missions page.

@Dawn---the best way to identify a wolf spider is to get a capture of its eyes...eye pattern is very important with the wolf spider
