Location Helps ID - _TNY_8971
When I find one of these at home in Stockholm, Sweden, the identification ends with "a Pardosa in the lugubris group" as there are several species which look identical unless you start examining genitalia under heavy magnification.
Since this female with her egg sac was found at my mother-in-law's however, we can conclusively say that it in fact must be exactly Pardosa lugubris as the other species have a distribution which ends much south of her place (which is ~500 km north of where I live).
Looking at this one, I can't help thinking I want to pet that fur which really looks incredibly soft!
