Lycosidae, commonly known as wolf spiders, are a family of spiders characterized by their robust bodies and excellent hunting skills. They are typically brown or gray, allowing them to blend into their surroundings. Unlike many other spiders, wolf spiders do not spin webs to catch prey; instead, they actively hunt and pounce on their targets.
Wolf spiders are found in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and gardens. They are known for their keen eyesight, which helps them locate prey, primarily insects. These spiders are also unique in that the female carries her egg sac attached to her spinnerets until the eggs hatch.
