Rabid Wolf Spider

Description

Despite their name, these spiders are not rabid, nor do they exhibit any such affiliated behaviors. They can however run very fast when evading a threat, or pursuing prey. They are not threatening to humans as their venom is designed to help them subdue other arthropods. Rather than spinning webs, wolf spiders run down their prey. The female carries her egg sac attached to the spinnerets at the rear of her abdomen, and the spiderlings then ride on her back until they disperse.
