Look at the curve of the second row of eyes. It curves downward. This is a Wolfy and not a fishing spider.Are you sure this isn’t a young Dolomedes species?
Dolomedes have the same spiky hairs as well, I’ve just never heard of that species or seen a Pardosa like that, habitat and coloration looks just like Dolomedes haha. You are right about the downward curve of the eyes though, what part of the US are you in? I’d love to go out and find some too if they are near me!Look at the curve of the second row of eyes. It curves downward. This is a Wolfy and not a fishing spider.
Plus those spikey hairs are characteristic of the Pardosa genus.
That looks a lot more like a Pardosa now haha. Very interesting, thank you for posting!Pardosa’s carapace: Length ≈ width
Dolomedes ’s carapace:Length > width
And some white spots on the opistosoma.
This’s what adults look like.
