kgoetzMy brother in law told me how to spot a #wolfspider at night and bloody hell, the world (where we are staying tonight...) is nothing but #wolfSpiders and sand.
neville park#Arachtober 11: a little thin-legged wolf spider (_Pardosa_) on a blade of grass in a marshy meadow. They can be practically as jumpy as jumping spiders and are very hard to get close enough to to photograph.
Here's a wolf spider I spied along the creek while fishing yesterday. Happy Arachtober 🕷! #arachtober #arachtober2025 #spiders #spidersofmastodon #SpidersOfTheFediverse #arachnids #wolfspiders
Got paged to the front of the building this afternoon because this guy was running around terrorizing everyone during parent pickup. Grabbed a catch cup, scooped him up, and relocated to a safer place. #arachtober #arachtober2025 #arachnids #spiders #SpidersOfTheFediverse #spidersofmastodon #wolfspiders #hognacarolinensis
#Arachtober 12: In some interestingly fungus-covered grass in the swampy meadow by the creek just past the Oculus, I saw lots of _Pardosa_ thin-legged wolf spiders, but they were as jumpy as, well, jumping spiders and it was hard to photograph any. Here's a couple I did get!
These cute little spiders, getting up to ~1cm body length, put the lie to the common misconception that a "wolf spider" is necessarily big, hairy, and bulky. In fact the family Lycosidae has thousands of species all over the world, as varied as their habitats, from large desert burrow-dwellers to these lithe little denizens of marshy undergrowth and rocky shore.

Went down to the lake this afternoon to hang out with the _Pardosa_ wolf spiders. Young spiders, females with egg sacs, females with babies, mature males courting—everyone's out and enjoying the sun!

nevilleparkRecent arachnid lifers & rarities
It recently occurred to me that I first got into spiders around 2013 or 2014, which means that, unbelievably, I have been spidering for ten years. I mostly go to the same sites and recognize most of the spiders and mites I see, so I have gotten more interested in observing their behaviour rather than trying to identify them. But every now and then I do come across some that are totally new to me, or ones that I only see rarely. Here's some of the "lifers" and rarities I've come across this [...]
