https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/52381729 for the iNat post

Collected last summer in a cup trap in a dried up stream bed in the woods. Was keyed to Alopecosa using SONA ID manual, but if you read my comment on my iNat post I explain why I believe that is incorrect and I instead believe it is Trochosa ruricola. Will attach images of the spider to go along with the epigynum. Area around epigynum was messy on the specimen under the microscope, and couldn't clear the area, so I removed epigynum from spider for this better look.
