Melocosa fumosa? - Melocosa fumosa
Bow Summit, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada
July 17, 2017
Found in near rocky area off the trail in the subalpine. This was a large spider - probably ~ 1" with the legs included - and this is the best photo I managed in the somewhat difficult lighting. I see that Melocosa fumosa is a large wolf spider in the subalpine of the Rockies and might be a good match, but I am not very good at spiders, so I would love input from experts!
