    I definitely think it's a wolf spider, nice that you got one with an egg sac. Reminds me of this:

    Pardosa sp with egg sac, Heeswijk, Netherlands For years I've been seeing these spiders run around on the forest floor in great numbers, and with each step I seem to disturb a few of them. But they're small and fast, and easily go into hiding. I had a bit more luck for once when this wolf spider was sitting still at a fallen tree on a hot day. <br /> <br /> Possibly Pardosa lugubris, but an expert suggested this can only be determined by investigating their genitalia, a step I skipped :)<br /> https://www.jungledragon.com/image/62518/pardosa_sp_with_egg_sac_-_side_view_heeswijk_netherlands.html Europe,Heeswijk-Dinther,Netherlands,World

    I tried to ID that one but experts say you need to examine genitalia to get to the species level.     Posted 7 years ago, modified 7 years ago
