In my last nature post I included a picture of an interesting spider. I thought it was a Wolf Spider.
Travis McEnery dropped a video about Dark Fishing Spiders on Friday. His videos are so fascinating and data heavy. I learn so much with each of his videos. After learning about Dark Fishing Spiders I am wondering if the spider I took a picture of was a Dark Fishing Spider and not a Wolf Spider.
What do you think? I still was using my old phone when I took the pictures. Therefore, the details are not crisp.
Mr. McEnery talks about how to tell the difference between a Wolf Spider and a Fishing Spider starting at minute mark 11:37. I think my spider matches the eye pattern of a Wolf Spider, but I am not too sure because the picture isn't close up enough.

I'm no expert, but I think the one in your pics is a wolf spider. The lower eyes are more of a "frowny face" look. You always capture the most amazing photos.

I have to agree with your analysis, Alyssa.
