Wolf Spider - Schizocosa avida
Copyright © 2007 Matt B.

Wolf Spider - Schizocosa avida
Williamson County, Tennessee, USA
June 16, 2007
Size: ~3cm
Even after cooling this spider down for about an hour... it had enough energy to sprint off in about 10 seconds!!!

The side-view shot was the best I could do with the time I had. I had no idea how MANY kinds of wolf spiders there are... Many spiders look similar to this, but I'm confident the ID is correct :)
