I was looking for a new spider, something small. Then this little guy came scampering across my floor.


"Pete" has no trouble taking down prey larger than him/herself. It's interesting to watch it's gorilla style assault. Run up, Bite, runaway, run up, bite, runaway...


I'll put up a picture of it's fat little abdomen after it's done eating.

Here are some of the other wolf spiders I've found in my place. The three main genus of wolf-spiders we have in Kentucky are, Hogna, Rabidosa, Schizocosa.

Here's a size comparison of Pete with a dime.

She's molted twice in a few months, now she's made an egg sack. I'm still not sure of the genus/species.
