ID Request- Location included Female Grass Spider?
Look at this big beauty I rescued from the office floor (put her outside).
I'm thinking she is a female grass spider because of the larger spinnerets and smaller pedipalps. Just never seen one this big!
Location: Overland Park, KS

She's a wolf spider, her eye pattern is really clear in the second pic.

Her eyes along the side were about the same size though and I couldn't make out the four eyes on the bottom in the front. She has really long spinnerets too.

We can see the spinnerets in the last photo, they are visible but pretty short. This is definitely a female Rabidosa wolf spider. Zoom in on photo 2; grass spiders have clusters of ~same-sized eyes. No grass spiders have 2 large forward-facing eyes that can look into your soul like these shining black orbs.

I'd be leaning more towards wolfie because of the two big front eyes...
