Another "donated" spider

[OldHag]

I guess Im now known as the "spider lady". Everyone in the neigborhood brings me spiders. Blackwidows, wolfspiders, even normal house spiders My mother inlaw saved this one from the lawnmower and brought it over. Its pretty big, almost 2". It has really cool red marks on either side of its fangs. I thought they were red mites at first but its the coloring on the spider!! Its a fun critter! Fast and eats a LOT! I have no idea as to what it is...I suppose its some kind of wolf spider. Any Ideas?

Enjoy.

Cool pics. In the first pic the spider looks like it has lights under it, like you see on some cars
