Grooming: Front Side View
4½ Minute Video Clip: when he cleans the upper part of a leg, you can see the flexed lower leg extend underneath his body, and when he's all finished, he settles down satisfactorily!

Charlotte, NC – 14AUG2019 – Male Rabid Wolf Spider:
Scared of spiders? How about this, a rather large one that runs quickly and has the name rabid wolf spider (Rabidosa rabida)?
Rabid wolf spiders are among the most common spiders in the United States of America; fully mature males like this one have a distinguishing characteristic: their front pair of legs is black.
This one caught my eye as I was readying to retire for the night and I captured him – literally and by cellphone – and then released him to the great outdoors from a plastic zip-lock bag I tried out for the first time, to try to get at least one reasonably good image, but my images didn't turn out so good, very sorry about that!
Hope you enjoy the 2.9% of 576 captures I took on this day!
