Comments & ID Thoughts

I'd like to know the type of spider please?

Taken in Leeds, England with what appears to be males and females living together on the bottom of a garden fence.

Females (what I assume to be due to larger size and abdomen) have a white abdomen

Thanks in advance

Andy

That is a female, though if I’m not mistaken that white ball attached to it is an egg sac. This is a Wolf Spider, though I’m not sure which ones are in the UK. Someone will be able to narrow it down for you later today.

Yes, I agree. Welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 This is a Wolf Spider (Lycosidae) carrying an egg sac. I’m not familiar enough with the species in your region to narrow the ID down further from this image. Filed.
