WOLF SPIDER

Dear blog viewers,

                This week I will present to you with some information about a wolf spider.  I have never heard of it and I am sure you have not either so you will gte to know about them and so will I. Hope you like it!

                Wolf Spiders are the most common spider found easily in the gardens and homes. The wolf spiders got their name wolf spider because they catch prey the same way a wolf does. They do not make a web for themselves  but they instead decide to live underground. Some common characteristics of the wolf spider are that they are of about one to two inches of length, and they are quite brisk and rush quickly on the ground. as in the color the color of the male wolf  spider is darker than the female wolf spider. The wolf spiders have eight legs, eyes to look in front and two pairs of medium sized eyes placed on the top to see upwards and at the back of their eyes a disc is located that enables them to see at night. that is preety coll!

               When it comes to hunting for the wolf spiders either stalk their prey or attack them suddenly. They first learn of their prey through their movement on the ground or the buzzing of their wings and then they attack. A female spider carries almost hundred of eggs in a sac and exposes them to sunlight also. When the eggs hatch the spider lings catch a hair on the mother's body and stay this way for a week and then disperse.
