Wolf spiders are a family of mostly large, hairy and athletic arachnids. Rather than catching their prey in webs, wolf spiders chase it down similar to the way a wolf does, although these spiders hunt alone, not in packs. There are nearly 2,400 wolf spider species across 125 genera, according to the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS). They live around the world and are found throughout the U.S. Wolf spiders are especially common in grasslands and meadows, but they also live in mountains, deserts, rainforests and wetlands - anywhere they can find insects to eat, Wolf spiders are usually brown, gray, black or tan, with dark markings - most commonly stripes, according to the Missouri Department of Conservation. Their coloring is effective camouflage, helping them catch their prey and hide from predators. Wolf spiders' size varies, and their body lengths range from about a quarter of an inch (0.6 centimeter) to over an inch (3 cm) long, not including their legs. The Deserters wolf spider (Hogna ingens) from Deserter Grande Island in the Atlantic Ocean is one of the largest wolf spiders and has a leg span of 4.7 inches (12 cm), according to the Bristol Zoological Society in England. Female wolf spiders are typically larger than males.

Wolf spiders have a "distinctive eye arrangement, where the front or anterior row is composed of four small eyes of roughly the same size arranged in almost a straight row, "The back or posterior row is arranged in a V-pattern with the apex next to the anterior row." Wolf spiders have excellent night vision and primarily hunt in the dark.
