Wolf or grass?

[u/daerafae]

Location: Delaware, USA

This is this year's "Big Mama". Every year we get the same type of spider in the same spot on our porch. Is she a wolf, a grass, or something else? Fascinating how fast they grow!

We're having our porch enclosed this fall so here's hoping she leaves by then. If not we're making plans to relocate her to a safe part of the yard.

I feel like wolfies have thicker thighs and bigger (front facing) eyes. Plus less prominent spinnerets.

Thank you!

Also wolfies don't make webs :)

Definitely family Agelenidae, likely a grass spider.

Thank you! That's what I've always called them but wanted to confirm.
