Fatgs

Many mating encounters, about one-third in one study, end with the female eating the male.1

The folk dance called the tarantella is linked to an old belief about this spider's bite.1

Females spend their whole lives in their burrows, apart from night-time trips to hunt.1

Wolf spiders have quite good eyesight, so a person is unlikely to approach one unseen.1

Mature males leave their burrows and wander about looking for mates.1

Destructur da mits

Mit: A bite from this spider can cause severe illness called tarantism, which must be treated by dancing.

Vardad: This was a traditional superstition in Apulia. The bites are not known to cause severe symptoms in humans or to endanger life.1
