Hogna is a genus of spiders commonly known as wolf spiders. They are part of the family Lycosidae and are characterized by their robust bodies and excellent hunting skills. Unlike many other spiders, Hogna do not spin webs to catch prey; instead, they actively hunt and pounce on their victims. These spiders are typically found in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and gardens. Hogna species are known for their distinctive eye arrangement, which helps them detect movement effectively. They are usually brown or gray, allowing them to blend into their surroundings. Some species can be quite large, with a leg span of several inches, making them one of the more noticeable types of spiders in their environments.
