Lycosidae
Their eyes reflect light well, allowing someone with a flashlight to easily locate them at night. Flashing a beam of light over the spider will produce eyeshine. The light from the flashlight has been reflected from the spider's eyes directly back toward its source, producing a "glow" that is easily noticed.
Very fast, no nest as such. Found in grass.
Thank you again Johan! I need all the help I can get with the smaller critters here in South Africa!
