Wolf spiders are a type of spider belonging to the family Lycosidae. They are known for their robust bodies and excellent hunting skills. Unlike many other spiders, wolf spiders do not spin webs to catch prey; instead, they actively hunt and pounce on their victims, which mainly include insects and other small invertebrates.
These spiders are typically brown or gray, allowing them to blend into their surroundings. They have eight eyes arranged in three rows, with the middle row being the largest. Wolf spiders are found in various habitats, including forests, grasslands, and gardens, and they can be identified by their quick movements and distinctive appearance.
