Lovely wolf spider visited my office yesterday #spider #lycosidae #gladicosa

A couple of arthropods out on the sand in the evening. I went for one very short stroll at night while in Mexico. Would have loved to spend more time seeing what comes out at night.

A wolf Spider (maybe Schizocosa) feeding on a beetle. And my first Solifuge.

#iNaturalist #Lycosidae #Solifuge

Pardosa laevitarsis from Naha, Okinawa, Japan. There were plenty of these guys frolicking in a city park.

In Finland, where I live, we have P. lugubris running around every yard and garden. I guess I found the subtropical equivalent of our beloved “lugu”!

This Monday’s arachnid is Piratula hygrophila, a wolf spider that “loves water” by name. Indeed, this species thrives in wet and damp ground level habitats. #lycosidae #spidermacro

Yellow-legged wolf spider Pardosa fulvipes.

These nimble buggers prefer Eastern Europe: they have never been found west of Germany and Italy. At my summer cottage in Central Finland P. fulvipes are plentiful. #lycosidae #spidermacro

Most of a wolf spider, taken from directly above. The last segments of a few legs have been cut off by the frame. It is standing on holy salty sand, so the background looks like a solid slab of black specked beige. The spider is a mainly soft grey body with four black eyes showing. The abdomen is marked with a grey line and black rimmed blobs all over it. This made it incredibly hard to see if you weren't paying close attention. The legs are a more pinky white with diffuse black barring. If it was big enough people would be wearing the "pelt" as luxury coats. It's gorgeous.

The same spider taken from a low angle, looking at the face slightly angled. This shows the female palps and the entire set of 8 black eyes. It also showed how the spider was right up on its "toes" ready for a fast get-away (or maybe the blinding white salt was hot to stand on). There is a bit of a shadow from the intense sunlight. Spider description is on the other photo.

Sorry spider haters, but this was just the most beautiful beast & I knew (nearly everyone) would need to see it 😉. It sat frozen, up on its toes, on the edge of Leeman (WA) salt lake while I took pics. Unfortunately it was too big (body length 1.4cm) for my lens. #spider #Lycosidae #Tetralycosa

IM BACK Happy #macromonday! Heres a cool #spider

This female Wolf spider (family Lycosidae) is an amazing mother! 🕷️

She’s carrying her spiderlings on her back and will do so until they’re old enough to be independent

#Spider warning for today's #Weretober - a werewolf! ...spider!

I'm pretty sure she looks more curious than hungry at the moment, but it's kinda hard to tell, so watch yourself.

Haciendo ejercicio me he encontrado ya varias de estas hermosuras cruzando la acera hacia los médanos de la playa.

Una de ellas con el abdomen llena, probablemente cientos, de miniarañanas (crías). Intenté foto pero se escapó 😅

Pulled out the video cam on this Tigrosa wolf spider mama, hoping to capture some movement from her babies! But they were all extremely still! Let's freeze in place with mama

A Schizocosa sp. Wolf spider I found a few days ago. I was excited to find him because there aren’t any official records of this genus where I live. I figure it is probably Schizocosa mccooki based on habitus.

Monday Spider.

Trochosa terricola, the Earthy Bear Spider. Member of the wolf spider family Lycosidae.

Bear or wolf? With eight legs, both at the same time!

This smug wolf spider posed for me with its catch. Happy #invertefest to one and all!

Esta es más o menos la cara que se me ha quedado al terminar las vacaciones 😩

¿Y vosotros? ¿Qué tal lleváis el síndrome postvacacional?

Alopecosa cf. albofasciata

Close-up macro photograph of a male wolf spider (family Lycosidae) nestled within the textured surface of decaying wood. The spider's dark, bristly legs are prominently visible, and its body shows detailed markings including dark central stripes on the cephalothorax. The rich amber and brown hues of the wood contrast with the spider’s earthy tones, giving a sense of its camouflage. The image captures fine details of the spider’s hairs, eyes, and leg posture in a tight, shallow-focus frame.

Male lycosid found tucked under a log, close to a nearby female. Not sure what he was up to, but he wasn’t shy about being photographed.

A close-up image of a large spider on the ground. The spider has a hairy body and legs, with prominent eyes that are clearly visible. It is situated on a bed of dried leaves and green grass, highlighting its natural habitat.

Hogna Anteculenta adult female spotted among many Tigrosa. First of the year, so I couldn't contain myself sharing this shot taken on my phone! #lycosidae #hogna #wolfspider

Aliens on Earth? #Climaciella brunnea is called the #wasp #mantidfly, Fam. #Mantispidae, for its resemblance to wasps. The larvae locate wolf #spider females. They enter her egg sac as it is being formed. From within the protected sac, it will eat the spider’s eggs. #Predation #Lycosidae

Its always fun to photograph wolfspiders, they are so cool.
I particularly e joy looking for them at night with a light and see their eyes shine like tiny stars on the ground.

Have a lovely #spidersaturday y'all

A Lycosidae spider, Pardosa sp., walking tall on its legs on a rock.

Hello, little friend, how tall! I'm not sure if you reminds me more of the tripods in "War Of The Worlds" or Dali's elephants 🤔
Pardosa sp., Lycosidae.

Going to unashamedly to post the spiders that people yell at me for posting on Facebook 😆. Look at this Geolycosa sp. found in North Carolina, US. STUNNING.
