Lycosidae? - Pardosa - Female
Oswego County, New York, USA
August 27, 2013
Found this female carrying her eggsac on a scrap sheet of metal. She was missing a few legs but what surprised me was how small she was. I thought mature female wolf spider were larger.

Yes to Lycosidae
There are over 200 species of Lycosidae (wolf spiders) in the united states. Most are actually quite small in size as compared to the stereotypical Carolina wolf spider (Hogna carolinensis), which happens to be the largest species. From what I can make out, this individual maybe of the genus Pardosa.
