A few weeks back I took a trip out to Iona Beech to look for the Tufted Duck that had been reported from the sewage ponds. Since it was a beautiful sunny day, I also took some time with my macro lens to photographing some of newly emerged arthropods.I found this female wolf spider hunting among the beach logs. I have this spider up at BugGuide if you can help me with the genus.
Thanks to Laura P. for the ID. Arctosa perita is an introduced wolf spider found in sand area like the one depicted in the photo above.
