Wolf spider (Geolycosa)

Deep River, Ontario

This is the large spider that creates the turrets over the burrows in the next few photos. Apparently, they excavate their burrows (which are quite deep) by using those powerful looking fangs. They carry soil particles to the entrance and use them to created the turret; excess soil gets tossed away!

Best viewed in original, unless you are not fond of spiders!!
