Hello,
I spotted this large black spider walking along a dry cornfield in southern Maryland. I think it’s a species of wolf but not sure. Can you help?

Hi Bob,
This is a male Trapdoor Spider in the genus Ummidia. When conditions are right, he wanders in search of a mate. Female Trapdoor Spiders rarely leave their burrows.
