Picture of unidentified spider

Comments & ID Thoughts

About twice as large as a quarter with legs extended. Looks a lot like the Fennel-web spider that is native to Australia, but has hair covering the entire body. Could not locate any pictures online that looked exactly like this. We found 5 others in our backyard the same night. All ground dwellers.

Hi. These are wolf spiders, Lycosidae family. Can’t dee detail to peg species, they can get a fair size.
I have the big ones, counted 9 one nigh with a flashlight, their eyes glow like cat eyes.
They are not dangerous, your yard is a great place for them.
Might be Tigrosa species:
