wolf spider - Rabidosa rabida - Female
Dixon, Phelps County, Missouri, USA
September 4, 2006
Size: ~1.5in legspan
Found in my flower garden. I know she's a wolf spider, but other than that, I'm never confident enough to venture a guess. Just a large, beautiful spider that let me take several photos.

Nice shots!
There is amazing footage of a wolf spider making her silk egg sac in David Attenborough's Life in the Undergrowth documentary series.

Thank You!
I will have to research that. I never really liked spiders until I found this site. Now, I find them fascinating, and in fact,they're my favorite thing to photograph!
