Family: Lycosidae (Wolf Spiders)
Female
Comments from Dr. Charles Ray: Extension Entomologist, Auburn University:
The eyes look like they are arranged in 3 rows, 4 in front, 2 in a middle row (actually middle 2 eyes of rear row) and 2 in back row (actually 2 outer eyes of rear row).
Also, appears to be carrying an ovisac - very typical of wolf spiders.
Jaws appear to be diagonal to the long axis of the body.
Legs appear to have brushes of fine hairs called scopulae.


Perhaps Geolycosa sp. (Burrowing Wolf Spiders)
