I'm working today, but my daughter keeps texting me pictures of this huge wolf spider she found in the garage.

Today's new friend: Well, I really don't know. Something in the Schizocosa or Tigrosa genus, but some spiders are morphologically too similar to tell apart unless you get a good look at their genitals under a microscope.
A tan and black wolf or grass spider, approximately an inch and a half long, sitting on my fingers.

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.

The image shows a close-up view of a spider resting on what appears to be dried, curled leaves or bark. The spider has a furry, mottled brown body with long legs covered in bristly hairs. Its appearance blends in well with the textured, earthy background, allowing it to camouflage effectively in its natural habitat. The level of detail captured in the macro photography highlights the intricate features and adaptations of this particular spider species.

#Arachnid folks: I submitted these photos to iNaturalist and there is disagreement as to whether this is Schizocosa or Gladicosa. It's less than 2 cm long, in Coventry CT, and these were the best photos I got before it scooted away. Seen March 14 (& minutes ago in my garage but I didn't get a photo)
A brown spider with long legs. The back has two dark brown stripes down either side of the cephalothorax and partly down the abdomen, with three to four dark brown spots on either side of the abdomen. The brown legs have dark brown spots. A slightly more in focus view of the same spider. A brown spider with long legs. The back has two dark brown stripes down either side of the cephalothorax and partly down the abdomen, with three to four dark brown spots on either side of the abdomen. The brown legs have dark brown spots. A third photo of the same spider with a fingertip near the brown spider. The spider is less than 2cm long, but difficult to tell bc the finger is pointed down at an angle

Another wolf spider (Schizocosa ceratiola). They were fun to try and photograph because they were absolutely everywhere.

Here's a wolf spider (Schizocosa ceratiola)! these guys were absolutely everywhere. What's really cool is that their eyes are reflective, so at night the sand/soil they live in looks like it has diamonds scattered everywhere.

A type of wolf spider, Schizocosa ceratiola, about the size of an American quarter

These Schizocosa always look so sympathetic and hopeful. It's the markings around the posterior median eyes that combined with how big they are look all 🥺👉👈

a day late with these leggy friends from yesterday #invertefest 🐛🕷️
lovely wolf spider, probably a mom-to-be. maybe Schizocosa sp. this is a bee?! Nomada sp. lays eggs in the nest cells of other bees so their babies can eat the other bee's babies. well that's one way to do it. Berytidae. so munch spindly. the perfect clubbed antennae. Emblyna sublata i reckon. pretty lil dictynid dude, all over the place

Wolf spider (possibly Schizocosa mccooki, per inaturalist) chillin' on the porch. 😊🕷️
A spider with seven legs rests on a grey concrete surface. The spider has soft, rich brown stripes alternating with pale grey stripes running along to top of its body.

This is a beautiful spider, but it is not Agelenopsis. Schizocosa sp. wolf spider, if you're in the US.

Ethology: A team led by Malcolm F. Rosenthal explores a novel substrate‐borne vibratory signal in the wolf spider (Schizocosa floridana). They chirp, tap and thump to attract females using their pedipalps, legs, and abdomen. 🕷️ Really cool! 🕷️
