Moved
Moved from Wolf Spiders.
Some species of Hogna were moved to a new genus, Tigrosa.

Moved
Moved from Spiders. What would you estimate the length of this spider to be (legs not included)?

Large
It was pretty active, it was larger than the length of the first joint of my index finger which is 1 1/8".

larger wolf spider
It's probably one of the Hogna species then. A ventral view comes in handy with that genus. Ventral views are pretty easy to get if you can seal the spider in a ziploc baggie.

Great tip!
Tried the baggie technique on a stink bug and a scarab beetle today. Had great results! Thanks!
