Appearance
Adult female: 5/16"; male - 1/4". They are generally brown to grey in colour.
Lifecycle
Wolf spider mothers carry their egg sacs around with them attached to spinnerets under the abdomen.
When the young spiderlings hatch, they climb onto their mother's back where they live for the first few weeks of life.
Habits
They hunt at night but spend the day hidden amongst moss and decaying matter.
They live in a shallow burrow, with an open and unadorned entrance.
