I have recently acquired a small spider. I originally thought it was a wolf spider, but after keeping it a week and watching the behavior I am thinking it is a grass spider. Wolf spiders do not usually make webs, but it is not unheard of for a species of Wolf to make webs. So, I thought I would ask here if I have a wolf or grass. First picture is not that great because it is hard to get a picture of this lil one. He is very bolty. The next pic is of this web thing it has built. I am leaning more towards grass spider.

In the dark, shine a light on its eyes- wolf spiders reflect light back in their eyes

It’s a wolf spider. Lots of wolf spiders make retreats like this in the ground. Do you know where it is from?

Definitely a wolf, you can see the side eyes in the first picture. Looks Hogna-ish in the first one, what's the ventral look like?
