Wolf Spider - Geolycosa missouriensis

Wolf Spider - Geolycosa missouriensis
Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, USA
October 24, 2010
Size: ~1.5-2in
I found this large wolf spider last year. It's body was about 1.5-2 inches long, covered in short, thick gray hairs, and had large orangish-brown chelicerae. I think it might be a burrowing wolf spider in the genus Geolycosa, or maybe one of the Hogna wolf spiders.
