Wolf Spider

            A brown Wolf Spider is not the thing you want to see creeping up on you in your campsite.  This guy nearly made it up a friends pants leg during a recent camping trip to Virgin Falls State Natural Area.

Wolf spiders are members of the family Lycosidae, from the Ancient Greek word "λύκος" meaning "wolf". They are robust and agile hunters with excellent eyesight. They live mostly solitary and hunt alone. Some are opportunistic hunters pouncing upon prey as they find it or even chasing it over short distances. Some will wait for passing prey in or near the mouth of a burrow. Wolf spiders can live up to 11 years if given the correct habitat.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  ~Jeremiah 29:11
