Lovely captures - interesting colour pattern- guess at it being a wolfie.

Just for interest I've never seen a wolf spider trying to catch prey until the other day when a fly wandered near one I was looking at. It actually did a jump from about 1.5" away onto the fly but unfortunately missed.

Thanks Sam and Thanks Brian!

I was guessing it was a wolfie too...so small......I am hoping as the spring rolls in that more of these guys will be out hunting.

Thanks for the comments :)

They're good Mike. Looks like it's using the mortar for camouflage.
