Western Wolf Spider

Western wolf spiders are most commonly brown in color, although gray and black specimens have also been documented. Colored markings may appear along their bodies. Some western wolf spiders can be found indoors, while others are specific to wet outdoor areas like riverbanks.

While most other wolf spider species carry their egg sacs until they are fully developed, the Trochosa, Alopecosa and Arctosa wolf spider species hide their eggs within tubes and web-coated holes beneath the ground. Other western wolf spider species do carry their young upon their backs. These species tend to be fiercely protective of their brood and will attack if they perceive a threat to their young.
