November 21, 2011
This individual climbed up about 10-15 feet above ground level up onto the outside wall a cabin. Location was at 1600' elevation in N. Georgia mountain in a mostly deciduous forest. Found during daylight hours (morning), but area had been well lighted (for moths) during the night.

Moved from ID Request. It certainly could be Gladicosa pulchra as far as I know, but wolf spiders are very hard to ID from images alone. We are hoping to get an expert help us some day.

Not an expert - Not an ID
If it is climbing high on a wall in my yard it would be Gladicosa pulchra, but that's just my yard. They normally live in trees, but sometimes I find them high on the brick wall of my house, where the trees overhang the porch. Looks like a female, to me.
