Comments & ID Thoughts
I really don't have a clue,but will be sincerely grateful to be informed about it. This specimen is as long as my pinkie finger and probably a bit longer if the legs get stretched. That is to say around 8 cm. It was interesting and patience busting to watch as it moved bit by bit and in the end turned herself 180 degrees so that the baby shell was pointing out of the hole.

You can see a some weaved web but that’s just at the threshold of the hole, which was covering it. It didn’t seem like there was web inside it.
I see you have watched that specimen very closely 🙂 In fact ,Wolf Spiders don’t make proper webs 😉
Likely a Trochosa. T. ruricola and T.terricola are some of the species that might come into consideration.
I’ve been waiting for so long for some clues…thank you!
You’re welcome Fluffer but…I think I’ve come up with a closer match: Lycosa sigoriensis 🙂
Shlickles, they are almost the same! The only evident difference is in their markings
