Kentucky Tarantula - Tigrosa georgicola
Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky, USA
April 28, 2012
This very large wolf spider was just off a hiking trail in a deciduous forest. I suspect it is a Hogna but I was hoping to get a species ID if possible.

We didn't know what Tigrosa georgicola looked like when this was submitted. The full stripe on the carapace indicates this is more likely T. georgicola.
