Got it and thank you again :)
Most welcome Beth !
A small correction ...It should be Family Lycosidae ...not Lycosidae sp. :)
Thanks for the ID, Atul :)
Hello Beth ..This is a Wolf Spider belonging to Family Lycosidae.
The sac like structure below the abdomen is the egg sac .... these Female lycosids carry their egg sacs by means of their spinnerets.
