spider drama (Part 2) - Hogna helluo -

Ackworth, Warren County, Iowa, USA
April 24, 2009
Size: ~14 mm

This wolf spider fell prey to a cellar spider in a nook under my kitchen counter. I previously posted a photo of the predator and prey together under Pholcus phalangioides...

...but with subsequent identification of the wolf spider by Mandy Howe, I am now posting this image under Hogna helluo.
