Wolf Spider Close Up

A close up video of my Tigrosa georgicola female. She is my oldest wolf spider as of now.

Tigrosa georgicola is a common species of spider (in the Southeastern United States) within the family, Lycosidae. Lycosidae, or wolf spiders, are ground dwelling, web-less, predatory arthropods. These arachnids, unlike many species found in the world, utilise their own speed and strength to capture prey items. They also have one very unique adaptation to help them survive: good eyesight. Unlike many species of spider and like the fishing and jumping spiders, wolf spiders have very good eyesight which helps them hunt. Due to this, they don't need a web to feed themselves. However, a few species of wolf spider will built webs an some will make vertical or horizontal burrows within the grass, leaf-litter, or under rocks and fallen logs. While they certainly look large and scary, wolf spiders are actually not dangerous to humans.

I like how they have a second pair of big eyes on their back

Do you just catch these and put them in terrariums? That's cool if you do, I'm not going to harp on you for it. I recently just caught a Northern Black Widow and want to set up a habitat for her.
