Could anyone ID this Wolf Spider I found?

Hey guys,

I've had this little dude for right around 8 months now. I'm pretty sure it's a type of wolf spider, but was wondering if someone could possibly give me abit more info.

Thanks...

It is definitely a Lycosid (wolf spider), a species of the genus Pardosa . possibly P. ramulosa, but there's not a whole lot of info on the many smaller species of Lycosids in the US.

Did you find this girl really close to a water source?

Hi KUJordan, thanks much for the reply. It's kind of an ironic story actually, I found the gal racing across the floor at work. I work in a retail complex that is actually kind of out in the middle of nowhere (lots of field and not a whole lot of anything else). There maybe ditches that run around the general vacinity, but nothing that really comes to mind.

Oh yeah, I found her in Colorado if that's any use.
