Anoteropsis litoralis typically delivers its mild venom through a bite using its fangs. This species primarily affects other animals that may come into contact with it, such as humans, dogs, and even smaller animals like lizards and various insects. For humans and larger mammals like dogs, the venom may cause minor discomfort or localized pain. Smaller creatures, such as flies, may experience more severe consequences due to their size.

Garden wolf spider

Garden wolf spider

The garden wolf spider (Anoteropsis hilaris) lives in small burrows among gardens, so it will commonly be seen running on the soil. It's an active hunter that will often take down prey larger than itself, but this species is sometimes hunted by wasps. Like other wolf spiders, these spiders can deliver an uncomfortable bite, which is not deadly to humans.

Wetland Giant Wolf Spider

Wetland Giant Wolf Spider

The wetland Giant Wolf Spider lives and hunts alone, only meeting another spider in order to mate (sometimes the females eat the males after this!). The wetland giant wolf spider was so named for its defining traits — it prefers wetlands, is massive, and lives like a (lone) wolf. They look scary with their size and big yellow stripe, but they are not aggressive and their bite only causes minor discomfort.

Tigrosa Annexa Wolf Spider

Tigrosa Annexa Wolf Spider

The tigrosa Annexa Wolf Spider (Tigrosa annexa) is one of the few spiders that does not form a web. Instead, they roam around at night and try and locate their prey. The venom that they produce is for paralyzing their prey, making them utterly harmless to humans.

Woodland giant wolf spider

Woodland giant wolf spider

The woodland giant wolf spider builds its nest underground or underneath boards, stones, and even firewood piles. The spider is typically only active at night when it comes out to hunt for prey. While males only live for a couple of years, females typically survive for several years. During the summer, it’s not uncommon to find females carrying their young on their backs.

Tigrosa georgicola

Tigrosa georgicola

Tigrosa georgicola is a skillful hunter, often relying on its agility and sensitive hairs on its body to detect and swiftly capture prey. In a distinct adaptation among its kind, juveniles carry a unique pigmentation pattern that fades into a more uniform coloration as they mature into adults. Their diet is carnivorous, predominantly consisting of insects and other small invertebrates, reflecting a crucial role in controlling pests within their habitats.

Drumming sword wolf spider

Drumming sword wolf spider

Gladicosa gulosa is a type of wolf spider found in Beech-Maple forests of the US and Canada, where the spider can be found in the plant strata of ground, herb or shrub. It is not one of the more common wolf spiders.

Gladicosa pulchra

Gladicosa pulchra

With a remarkable adaptation for terrestrial life, gladicosa pulchra showcases a unique hunting technique that involves no web construction. Instead, it relies on its agility and keen sense of touch delivered through sensitive hairs to pursue prey directly on the ground. During their developmental stages, young individuals exhibit a notable variance in diet, often consuming smaller arthropods than their opportunistic adult counterparts, which include a wider array of insects.

Carolina Wolf Spider

Carolina Wolf Spider

The Hogna carolinensis, also known as the carolina Wolf Spider, is the biggest wolf spider in the world. It has a distinctive appearance. The body length is around 2 cm, not to mention the robust and fuzzy long legs. Unlike other common spiders, these are outdoor spiders that actively hunt prey without the use of webs, but dig burrows or hide under debris instead.
