    I'm not sure this is correct. Wolf spiders are indeed found all over the world, including every continent and major land mass except for most of Greenland and Antarctica with at least 17 known genera. But I have encountered many Hogna aspersa; they are very common in the states, and this is not one. H. aspersa typically has 2 or 4 spots on its abdomen, where this specimen has a few shapes that look like triangles.

    @Shubham: note that the species info comes from Wikipedia. It can be overruled once inside JungleDragon if you have a good reason for it, but that would also mean that Wikipedia is incorrect. That's very well possible, but you need strong scientific evidence for it.

    Please have a look at Travis' suggestions, likely this specie is misidentified.     Posted 11 years ago
