Wolf spider

Hello reader,



Members of the family Licosidae are spread in the world, been commonly named Wolf spider. With so vast diversity of colors and sizes the best way to recognized one is by their big eyes of the front with four smalls above and more two separate in the top.









There have a good sight thanks to those big eyes, making them a good hunter. They don’t spin a web, and like the huntsman they go after their food. It don’t go after only bugs, incredibly this spider can hunt frogs and toads, but not only that, this spider even dive in the water and catch small fish.



It is more common they be walkers,but some create a burrow that can have or not a door. They really in their vision to do a hunting, but they also use the sensitive legs to know from where is coming a moviment when they stay in the burrow. When they left the burrow at night to hunt if it has a door this stay opened until the spider returns.



Another easy way of recognise them is if you see one carrying a sac, more specifically a female carries a circular sac attached on her spinnerets. When the eggs eclode the spiderlings stay in her back until the change of skin then they disperse by ballooning or walking. The mother helps breaking the sac to the youngs climb her, is a rare parentcare in the spider’s world, she protect the sac and the youngs in her back with her life.








The wolf spider is not exactly dangerous, but a bite can cause a lot of local pain and if the symptoms persist you need to go to a hospital. Normally the spider don’t inject venom unless be continuous provoked. This is another spider with a mit of necrosis, that don’t happened.

Black House Spiders

Hello Reader,





The spider of today can stay in the same spot until your day of death. The Black house spider is not exactly dangerous, her venom can cause a lot of pain and some minors unwell symptoms, unless you are allergic, then it can kill you. Generally is a sweet spider, and don’t bite unless provoked.






The black house spider normally built her web in places that have something shine to attract insects, thats is way it receives also the name window spiders, the bright of window attract insects what makes a perfect place to construct a home.




The web can have a funnel forme, makyn people thinking is a funnel-web spider, but the web is more messy, and don’t stays in a burrow. The black house spider lives in the same web and will just put more silk in the same, makin some old ones look more gray, unless something force them to move for then the spider will build a new web in a new place.




Differently of the other spiders, when a male make sure the female is receptive they will stay together for some days and mate several times.




The female guard the sacs of eggs until they hatch and disperse. Some will stay in the weeb of the mother during a time, eating small prey that the bigger spider ignore before leaving and starts its own web.
