Best Lycosid photos for identification

If you have minimal equipment:

1. a view from directly above
2. get as close as possible, details are important
3. crop photo as much as possible
4. additional details such as pedipalps, face, and legs from side showing their underside may help depending on species
5. using the flash helps if lighting is poor

If you have better equipment or accessories:

1. get the spider in a plastic of glass container (they don't climb walls well)
2. underside views with spider in clear bottomed container or clear plastic bag
3. light is your friend but direct sunlight often results in harsh shadows
