The Carolina Wolf Spider was the one I chose for my report because it looks cool and I like its body and colors they are dark brown and light brown and have fuzzy legs. I also chose it because there were lots of interesting facts about it that it made it fun to learn about. Most wolf spiders grow to be one inch long and may live as long as three years.
Most Carolina Wolf Spiders live in the big fields in South Carolina. They choose to live in medium length grasses because there are lots of insects and other spiders to eat and because the long grasses protect them from predators. They dig burrows to live in and that is where the female hatches her egg cases which can have 600 hundred eggs per sac.
Baby spider lings eat small fruit flies, white flies and larvae. Adult wolf spiders eat larger insects such as crickets and other spiders. They are great hunters who spend a lot of time searching for food during their active months of March through October.
Some of the interesting facts about the wolf spider are they use vibrations in the ground to hunt for insects. Carolina wolf spiders have bright green eyes that can be seen at night when they cross the roads. The female spider spins an egg sac but neither the male or female spins a web.
There are more than 3000 kinds of spiders and the Carolina wolf spider is one of the biggest. I learned a lot about the wolf spider and how to write a good report. I hope you enjoyed learning about this spider.
