Wolf spider

This beauty was lurking in my shed this morning, I am fairly sure it is a Wolf Spider, it is a handsome beastie with lovely markings.

Spider lovers will enjoy this site which has loads of spidery information.

In fact it probably tells me that 26th Septembers blip was a female wolf with babies clinging on.

Todays I am not sure of, probably male as it is handsome and self assured but could be a female without young.
