Wolf Spiders
Lycosidae
Summary 2
Wolf spiders are members of the family Lycosidae, from the Ancient Greek word "λύκος" meaning "wolf". They are robust and agile hunters with excellent eyesight. They live mostly in solitude and hunt alone, and do not spin webs. Some are opportunistic hunters pouncing upon prey as they find it or even chasing it over short distances. Some will wait for passing prey in or near the mouth of a burrow.
Brittany's Notes 3
Abundant stocky terrestrial spiders. Hard to get down to species. Ambush prey but sometimes chase them down. I've seen a good number sitting inside the top of crawfish chimneys. Adept predators. Egg sac is attached to spinnerets and babies stay on abdomen after hatching. Many viral videos of mothers with eggs on the abdomen that suddenly disperse.
