http://forums.insecthobbyist.com/forum.php?catid=47 Welcome to the Wolf Spider Forum. Here you may post messages or questions pertaining to the keeping of live and/or preserved species of wolf spiders. Wolf spiders are named because of their technique of running down their prey. Usually most active at night they have very good eyesight and are often seen crossing roadways at night in their search for food. Wolf spiders carry their egg sacs on their spinneret until the young spiderlings hatch, at which point the mother carries them on her back. Wolf spiders are an important pest control mechanism consuming millions, or billions, of harmful insects each year. http://forums.insecthobbyist.com/view.php?id=23196,23196 i just wanted to post some pics and see what you guys think http://forums.insecthobbyist.com/view.php?id=23161,23161 i have had my wolf spider for about 2 months now and she has been doing great eating lots of crickets and stuff but i found her yesterday doing what i thought was making an egg sac but when i came home that night she didnt have it anymore could she have just started then stop for some reason or do t... http://forums.insecthobbyist.com/view.php?id=23124,23124 Hey out there, I have a pair of wolf spiders that have been set up for a few weeks on the outside of my house and one of them (I think the female) has the most unusual "claws" I have ever seen and have not found anything on the web that explains or shows them.
