Geolycosa riograndae.  A brand new wolf spider species for me! Just standing on the patio in my backyard last night. I nearly ignored it, but I have been trying to post a few new spiders each day to iNaturalist for #AracnOctubre so I went to get my camera. When I saw his face, I knew it was different. They appear to only be in Texas. This is only the 5th recorded on iNaturalist in the Rio Grande Valley.
