Wolf Spiders (Lycosidae) are robust spiders known for their hunting prowess. With a body length of around 1/2 to 2 inches, they are typically brown or gray with distinctive eye patterns.

Brown Recluse Spiders prefer quiet, undisturbed spaces like closets, attics, and basements. They build irregular webs and are nocturnal hunters.
