Parasitized wolf spider - Gladicosa gulosa

Parasitized wolf spider - Gladicosa gulosa
Louisiana, USA
This image was submitted to reddit and I found it interesting. I couldn't find many images of spiders with external parasitoids. If this turns out to be interesting I will message the reddit submitter to get more details on location and date.
