spider - Pirata - Female
Lady Lake, Lake County, Florida, USA
December 27, 2005
Size: 5mm
I looked through d. triton all the images there seem to suggest they are quite a bit larger, can they vary that much in size? I did measure this one. The egg sac was about the size of a BB.

Pirata?
My guess is that this is in the pirate wolf spiders. See guide page.
