Hunting for Wolf Spiders!

Wolf spiders are all around us but we rarely see them. In this video, we show you how to go hunting for wolf spiders by seeing their glowing eyes in the darkness!

Sometimes I get these in the garage so I catch them with a container and put them back outside I used to be petrifying by spiders but I'm getting over my fear of them I think it's funny how they can jump when they run away from you seeing that I realised how silly I was for being scared of them

In pretty much every location that we visit, shining at night is a surefire way to come across some arachnids. Wolf spiders are so much fun to watch, they are perfect little predators and seeing a big one is always a treat during a night hike. Great discussion about their anatomy and their importance!

If you use a piece of gum attached at the end of thin string, you can "fish" them out from the holes they make

One of my favorite spiders, we have “fiddle backs” here that we are careful to remove.

Not my favorite when I raise baby monarch catepillars. I have to carefully examine each part of the milkweed plant for them hiding along with earwigs, lacewings, assassin bugs, and some other strange aggressive catepillar-like predator that cuts their head off. Then there's tachnid fly and wasps that look for them as well. Nature is harsh. Very harsh for monarch catepillars to survive.

What's the difference between these wolf spiders and grass spiders, with similar stripes on their back? Thanks

Young wolf spiders should be called pup spiders
