Wolf Spider (zc) (1/2)

Araneae: Lycosidae

Lycosidae sp  

A Wolf Spider out prowling in the Mallee at night.

Wolf Spiders are easy to find at night when they are out hunting as their eyes reflect a remarkable amount of eyeshine for such little creatures.

I have allocated them a number of species pages based on different patterns on the cephalothorax and/or abdomen but it's possible that some are just colour or sexual differences in the same species.

I have found little documentation available to enable easy identification of many Australian spiders, and Wolf Spiders in particular.
