Wolf Spider ID?

[1Lord Of Ants1]

Came across a cool looking wolf spider this afternoon under a brick, I only come across these occasionally so I grabbed this one. It's a nice size, with a leg-span around 2 inches, female I believe. (Gravid?) Sorry for the blurry pic, I didn't want to disturb it too much.

It looks like an Hogna sp., most likely Hogna Radiata.
Beatiful specimen!

Agree with Hogna, but definitely disagree with Hogna radiata which is nowhere to be found in the Americas.

hi tarantula hawk...

...nice to "hear" you.

question : are you familiar with nearctic/neotropic hogna spp. ?

Oops, forgot to look at his location

Hogna it is then! That seems to make sense, anyone know the species?

She's pretty ravenous, she's already taken and eaten 3 entire prey items with eagerness. (2 large mealworms, one small roach)

Hogna lenta, Field Wolf Spider :clap:
