Wolf spiders are large, robust spiders known for their hunting abilities and agility. Unlike many other spiders, wolf spiders do not build webs to catch prey; instead, they actively hunt and pounce on their food. They have excellent vision and are typically found in outdoor areas like gardens, lawns, and wooded spaces. Wolf spiders are brown or gray with distinctive markings and can grow up to 1-2 inches in body length. While their bite can be painful and cause mild swelling or irritation, they are not considered dangerous to humans. They are beneficial in controlling other pests but can become a nuisance if they enter homes.
