Mint my white wolf spider

a field wolf spider (Hogna lenta) squeezing down her burrow to consume her freshly-wrangled roach dinner in peace

unlike some other wolf spiders that construct burrows, H. lenta seems to be strictly nocturnal and their burrow entrances are well hidden and practically impossible to find. I imagine this helps them avoid the Anoplius spider wasps that are often seen hunting for them during the day.

this is my field wolf spider, Hogna lenta.

there is nothing for scale in this picture, but she is huge. she’s much larger than a quarter and usually pretty grumpy. I pestered her a little bit for these photos.

I don’t get to see her much, because she’s a little architect and has a bunch of tunnels hidden around her enclosure. so I always take a few pictures when I encounter her.
