Comments & ID Thoughts

From northeastern Alabama, size is pretty close to actual size, like the size of a full grown tarantula, the very little research I did led me to think it was a mouse spider or habronattus coecatus

Its definitely a female wolf spider. They carry their eggs behind them in a spherical egg sac. Once the spiderlings hatch out…they climb aboard mom ….that’s why her abdomen looks so fuzzy….its because her young are hitching a ride.
She may be in the genus Tigrosa …but I am not sure
