Lycosa tarantula

These spiders are rather large, the females being as large as 30 mm (1.18 in.) in body length and the males around 19 mm (0.75 in.). As with other wolf spiders, the silken sac containing over one hundred eggs is carried attached to the mother's spineretes, and then after they hatch the baby spiders climb on their mother's abdomen and ride around with her for some time until they are sufficiently mature to survive on their own.


After leaving their mother's protection, the young spiders disperse and dig burrows. Females live in their burrows all their lives except for nocturnal forays to capture prey,[2] but the mature males leave the protection of burrows and wander about looking for mates. The males can live for two years, and they die some time after reaching sexual maturity. The females can live for four years or more. During the winter these spiders hibernate in their burrows.
