Wolf Spider

Found in wide range of habitats including woodlands, grasslands, gardens, and frequently inside homes or on man-made structures.

Carnivorous; feeds on ground-dwelling insects like crickets, ants, and other spiders. They are active hunters that do not use webs to catch prey.

Solitary and nocturnal hunters with excellent eyesight. Females are known for carrying their egg sacs attached to their spinnerets and later carrying hatchlings on their backs.

Beneficial to the ecosystem as natural pest control. They are generally not aggressive to humans and their venom is not considered medically significant, though a bite can cause localized pain and swelling.
