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

3

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

4

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

5

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