The Carolina wolf spider is a large ground-dwelling spider found across much of North America. It is the biggest wolf spider in the region. It lives in burrows in the ground and hunts by waiting at the entrance to ambush its prey.1

Leef in

North America, including South Carolina, Kansas, the Great Lakes states and the American Southwest1

Tuis

It lives in burrows that it digs itself or takes over from other small animals. It prefers flatter, more open areas. It sometimes lives near human homes, where it feeds on pests such as cockroaches.1

Lengte

1,8 cm tot 3,5 cm (0,7 in tot 1,4 in)1

Topspoed

omtrent 1,5 km/h (0,93 mph)

Op land, rowwe skatting

Wat eet dit?

It eats insects and other small invertebrates, such as grasshoppers and crickets. It has also been seen catching juvenile Texas banded geckos. It waits at the edge of its burrow and attacks prey that comes close.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Mottled light-brown body with darker brown patterning on its back1
Dark, almost black underside1
Males have orange colouring on the sides of the abdomen1
Females carry their egg sac attached to their body1
Its eyes reflect light, which makes it easier to spot at night1

Gifkrag

Byte

Gif kom deur sy giftande of tande uit wanneer dit byt.

Wat doen sy gif as dit byt of steek?

Its venom is unusual. It paralyses the spider's prey, which stops the prey from escaping. The venom also helps prevent microbes from the prey infecting the spider.1

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: LigSoos 'n bysteek of minder. Basies onskadelik vir mense.

Wat doen dit as dit bang is?

When it senses a threat it either returns to its burrow, if one is nearby, or runs away.1

As dit byt

Was die byt en sit 'n yspak daarop vir die pyn. Kry mediese hulp as die pyn erg is, versprei of die persoon sleg voel.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou byt: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

die moeite werd om te weet

Feite

It is the largest wolf spider in North America.1

Its burrows can go as deep as 30 cm and are about 4°C cooler than the surface, which helps it survive hot desert conditions.1

Females carry their egg sacs on their bodies while the eggs develop, and they are often seen sitting near the top of their burrow with the sac raised up.1

Newly hatched spiderlings stay with their mother for their first six days.1

Male spiders flee from threats more often than females, partly because they own fewer burrows to escape into.1
