The wolf spider is a medium-sized spider that hunts on the ground during the day; it chases down its prey and leaps on it, just like a wolf. It frequents gardens and grasslands, as well as a variety of other habitats, and can often be seen sunbathing or running across the ground. The female carries her round egg-sac underneath the back end of her body, attached to the organs that produce silk, called the 'spinnerets'. She will carry the young on her back for a few days after they hatch.
