Spiders! A pretty little ground spider of some kind, a female _Pardosa lapidicina_ (the beaches were TEEMING with them), a little long-jawed orbweaver raking in the plentiful midges. There were a bunch more but I didn't have time to get pictures of them.

[ES] Tenía claro que era una licósida, pero me ha costado mucho convencerme de que pertenece al género Pardosa. El diseño radial del prosoma lo primero que me hizo pensar fue en Hogna radiata, pero esta es más robusta y tiene más radios. Luego miré Trochosa, que también tiene este diseño, pero tampoco me convencía. Finalmente, por la separación de los ojos de la fila central (los grandes), me convencí de que era Pardosa. Con la especie ya no me atrevo. He buscado muchas fotos y no me encaja ninguna.
Fotografiada el 24/04/2026 en una pradera entre el río y un rebollar en la provincia de Cáceres.
Equipo: Canon EOS 400D + Tamron SP 90 mm f/2.8 Di MACRO 1:1
ISO 400, s 1/200, f/5,6. A pulso.

[EN] I was certain it was a Lycosidae, but I wasn’t sure whether it belonged to the genus Pardosa. The radial pattern in the prosoma made me think first on Hogna radiata, but this species is more robust and has more radii. Then I looked for Trochosa, which also has a similar pattern, but it didn't convince me. Finally, I looked at the space between the eyes of the middle row (the biggest) and I realized it was a Pardosa. I looked at many photos and I don't know which species it is.
Photographed in a grassland between the river and the oak forest on 2026/04/24 in the province of Cáceres (Spain).

A very cool wolf spider, just quietly moving around on moss. Allowed enough time for a decent picture (with an android phone)
Set on a typical gneiss'ish rock infused with hard white quartz crystals.

And that's how the wolf spider got a second cricket today. 😂 #spiders #SpidersOfTheFediverse #spidersofmastodon #wolfspiders #lycosidae #hognacarolinensis
Rescued this wolf spider just before it went into the school office this morning. hydrated it, gave it a cricket snack, and found a more appropriate spot for it after school today. Didn't seem like it wanted to leave 🤣. #spiders #SpidersOfTheFediverse #spidersofmastodon #wolfspiders #lycosidae #hognacarolinensis #arachnids
Opened up one of the wolf spider enclosures to find that it has made an impressive burrow sometime over the week. Must be finally feeling at home. #wolfspider #lycosidae #spiders #SpidersOfTheFediverse #spidersofmastodon
Redecorated a classroom terrarium this afternoon. Some of the materials I had originally planned on using didn't work out, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. The wolf spider seems happy with it though 🤷‍♂️. #terrarium #terrariumplants #wolfspider #lycosidae #spiders #spidersofmastodon #SpidersOfTheFediverse
Rehoused one of the wolf spiders into a more natural enclosure. This is one of the spiders that was found in my school building, but it was already too chilly to relocate him back outside. #spiders #spidersofmastodon #wolfspider #lycosidae #hognacarolinensis

#Arachtober 11: a little thin-legged wolf spider (_Pardosa_) on a blade of grass in a marshy meadow. They can be practically as jumpy as jumping spiders and are very hard to get close enough to to photograph.
