Male wolf spider

Around here, wolf spiders often endure the colder days of winter clinging to the side of the house. When the chill finally ends and the sun begins to warm the ground again, they positively leap down and start foraging as quickly as they possibly can. Even in early February, they are so numerous in parts of the yard that you have to watch your step! This ~6-7mm male was pretty cooperative and didn't mind me getting close with the camera. He just kept going, occasionally stopping for a brief rest. The odd white patch on his right fang might be some kind of fungus, but I'm not sure. Pentax 55mm reversed on a extension tubes.
