I found a male carolina wolf spider last night and took it home to meet the female that I have posted about.

Here is the female. You might remember this photo.

Here is the male.

Another shot.

Boy meets girl.

Mating.

He went from one side to the other and back again at least 20 times on each side!

I am not sure on the cm, but in this post, http://atshq.org/boards/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1047 , there is a photo of her next to a US penny for scale.

Largest wolf spider in North America from what I have heard.

I'm glad you said that--I've been suffering from the delusion that I had a small T and when I saw that picture I realized I had a wolf spider.
