A Wolf and a Bear - _TNY_8301
The genus Trochosa belongs to the family Lycosidae, wolf spiders. In Swedish, Trochosa are "björnspindlar" - bear spiders (Yes, Björn Borg's name literally means "Bear Castle").
This is a Trochosa, and most likely T. terricola, the grounds woplf spider. The photo isn't 100% conclusive though and there is a small cance of it being the significantly less common T. spinipalpis. The latter prefer wetlands though and since that wasn't the habitat where I found it, i suppose we can assume this is a T. terricola.
