Young Wolf Spider

Young and very attentive wolf spider. Spotted me with its rear set of eyes and froze immideately. Tried pressing to the ground, pumping up and down and standing up tall to make me go away again. They are quite poisonous and so every time I loose it out of frame and don't find it immediately again, there is a cartoonish scare moment [180mm, 1/250, f14, ISO400].

 

Kingdom: Animalia

Class: Arachnida

Order: Araneae

Family: Lycosidae

Specimen: unknown / possibly unnamed

Common name: possibly Grey Wolf Spider
