Hello, I have a female Thin-Legged Wolf spider. I haven't figured out exactly what species she is, but I know some that she could possibly be. I found her out in a woodpile nearby my house, so she is unfortunately wild-caught. I'm doing my best to provide her with everything she needs, but still am not sure how long she may live. She is a mature female, as far as I know, and is larger than the 4 males I've seen. If anyone has any information on Thin-Legged Wolf spiders, it would be much appreciated!

Here is a photo of one male I caught, and the other males as well as the female look similar. If anyone could identify the species, that would be great. IMG_0533.jpeg

They live about a year or so I believe. There is no way to really identify these to a species without looking at the mating organs or epigynum under a microscope, some males may be distinctly colored but most of the time they aren’t really distinguishable without closet examination.

Alright, thank you.
