Venonia coruscans
White-dot Wolf Spider
This small, fast-running wolf spider can be recognised by a dorsal white spot on the posterior end of the abdomen. The darkish body is covered with iridescent hairs, giving it a metallic bluish sheen, especially on the carapace. The legs are usually marked with distinct white rings. The posterior lateral spinnerets are proportionally longer than those of the more common wolf spiders such as Pardosa.
