Hi all! I am back again with another Wolf spider ID, but this time I just can't remember the name of it. Hopefully someone can remind me of what it is? :8o
A little info: Found in NE Florida, about 45 mi. south of Jacksonville. Description of the land where it was found is Pine forest (the very outer edges of the Ocala National Forest).
This Wolf is an young male, but for some reason, I don't think he is fully mature yet. Then again, I'm not familiar with this sp., so I don't know. In my Internet search for ID, I found only a few pics... NONE with any ID other as "Wolf" or "Lycosa". --> great emoticon--> :wall:
When he captures a prey item, he annihilates the prey's head and then makes a web mat to secure it. Only then will he eat at leisure, leaving nothing but legs and 'dust'. I found this fascinating because my Hognas don't do this.
Here are some pics of him. I included ventral and palps, too. Sorry about the poor quality. :8o He will fit very nicely on a nickel, legs included. Small, but much bigger than a Pardosa milvina.
Hope the pics are good enough to help with ID. Thanks in advance for all help and comments! S.
