Comments & ID Thoughts

Found this beautiful specimen in the kitchen after our area got hit with the first frost of the season.
Size:roughly 1.25-1.75" in length.
I'm thinking wolf spider. Can someone please help me identify this?

Hi, yes I agree. This looks like Varacosa avara – a kind of Wolf Spider (Lycosidae).
