Tigrosa helluo

Comments & ID Thoughts

There are literally thousands of this spider in my yard. Every step you take, ten spiders move away from your foot. They seem to all be of this species and I think they may like my yard because before I fixed an outdoor plumbing issue, it was basically swamp land. At this point it’s all mud until the grass grows. I’m assuming this is a wolf spider as I’ve found a similar one in my house and had it identified as a wolf spider through this website.
