>Wolf spiders are often brown, gray, or black, with tiny patterns on their bodies that help them blend in with their surroundings. Their size ranges from small species of around 0.4 inches (1 cm) to bigger species of 2 inches (5 cm) or more in body length, excluding their legs. Wolf spiders are frequently mistaken for tarantulas due to their huge, hairy look, however they are typically smaller and leaner in structure. These spiders are named for their hunting strategy, which is similar to that of a wolf: they follow their target and then pounce, rather than using webs to catch insects. Wolf spiders are solitary creatures, with the majority of species living on land, however some are arboreal. In the natural, they can be found in a variety of environments, including woods, grasslands, marshes, deserts, and even human settlements.
