Well, I found a female Hogna helluo on a school Earth Science field trip, and I decided to keep her. (Sorry about the quality of some of the pics, my camera is not working correctly.)
Hogna helluo:

Thanks, tfleming.
She's one of the most aggressive wolf spiders I've seen. (And believe me, I've seen quite a few.)

Evil looking indeed Smile

Because she's a H. helluo, she's not that big, I'm guessing 1.5 inches. Smile I'll try to post more pics of her soon.

I saw a huge Hoga carolinensis up here about a year ago though, that one was about 4.5 inches! I used to see a lot of H. carolinensis when I lived in Virginia.

Scorpion19981000, I'd get ready for some spiderlings if I were you.

UPDATE: She just laid an egg sac. It was interesting to watch the process. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pics. (My camera has all but died on me.)

Well, I got a couple of crappy pics before my camera died. I probably won't be posting new pictures any time soon.
Anyway, here are the pics:

UPDATE:

Her egg sac has been getting larger the past few days. I transferred her to a container with more floor space, to make separating the spiderlings from the mother easier.
