Wolf Spider

Found in diverse habitats including grasslands, shrublands, gardens, and occasionally indoors near baseboards or windows.

Active nocturnal hunters feeding on various insects and small arthropods without using a web.

They do not spin webs for catching prey, instead actively chasing or ambushing targets. Females carry their egg sacs attached to their spinnerets and later transport spiderlings on their backs.

They are beneficial controllers of garden and household pest insect populations. Their venom is not medically significant to humans, causing only mild localized irritation if bitten.
