Mystery Trochosa

Mysterious Boi

Gonna guess Trochosa spinipalpis? It fits all the criteria. Location, markings, size, colour

Where'd you get it?

@GermanGamer7 under a rock in my neighbors yard (Michigan)

@GermanGamer7 I currently cannot find any information on that species. This may be because it was moved to a different species. I found a species that looks very similar if not identical to the mystery wolf called Trochosa aquatica. The only thing it is doesn’t fit is in location, it is only found in east Asia apparently. However there is a chance the data is out dated and it was somehow introduced to North America.

Sounds like Trochosa spinipalpis to me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trochosa_spinipalpis

I found one today at my job site! It looks similar but its legs are more burnt orange in color.

@GermanGamer7 actually spinipalpus lives in Europe. I live in Michigan, USA. But I appreciate the help.
