Carolina Wolf Spider

Description:

H. carolinensis is considered the largest wolf spider in North America. This species is extremely common in it's range. It can often be found at night with a flashlight as the eyes reflect light with a green-blue shine. Females get slightly larger than males as in most spiders. Large specimens are rather intimidating to most people who fear spiders.

Habitat:

This species can thrive just about anywhere. They are voracious hunters that aren't considered to be "webbers" but instead dig burrows.

Notes:

A cool fact about this species is that it is considered the state spider of South Carolina. They are VERY easy to find!
