Pinehurst NC wolf spider - Tigrosa georgicola
Pinehurst, Moore County, North Carolina, USA
May 16, 2007
Size: body approx 2 inches
Some wolf spider, my son and I have been keeping it in a large clear container for a few days now, feeding it various insects from the yard. We usually see rabidosa, but I've now seen 2-3 of these.

Hogna aspersa
This is Hogna aspersa...

According to Penn State Entomology, here's a description:

"Hogna aspersa females are 18 to 25 millimeters in length, and the males are 16 to 18 millimeters. They are similar to H. carolinensis in body color but have a distinct narrow line of yellow hairs on the carapace in the vicinity of the eyes. The legs are banded with a lighter brown color at the joints. The males are much lighter in color than the females, and only their third and fourth pairs of legs are banded with a lighter color."
