Wolf Spider

Found in a variety of habitats including grasslands, forests, deserts, suburban gardens, and sometimes indoors.

Predatory, feeding on insects such as crickets, grasshoppers, and other small invertebrates. They actively hunt their prey rather than building webs.

Solitary, nocturnal hunters. They are known for their speed and agility. Females carry their egg sacs attached to their spinnerets and, once hatched, the spiderlings ride on the mother's back for some time.

Generally considered beneficial as they control insect populations. While they can bite if provoked, their venom is not considered dangerous to humans, typically causing only mild local pain and swelling.
