Log Wolf Spider - _NY_9000

This fuzzy beauty is a wolf spider known as Acantolycosa lignaria. It has no common English name, but the Swedish one, stockvargspindel translates into "log wolf spider".

 

This is a female and typically, I see these either carrying an egg sac under their abdomen or with all her little spiderlings on her back.
