Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Wolves don't purr, but wolf spiders sure do! To attract a female, a male will rub their pedipalps (small appendages around the mouth) together to produce vibrations. These vibrations travel through the dried leaves the male stands on, and producess a low purring sound! Check out the sound below:

What if Lycosid, but Salticid 👀

Not sure who this tiny perky wolf boy is, but I love him and his outsized jumping spider-esque eyes and little mushroom head. 🖤

"IT'S BECOMING INCREASINGLY OBVIOUS."

"I CAN DENY IT NO LONGER!"

"I am small"

But bigger than the average wolf spider even still! Hand for scale so y'all can get a better idea of the size!

a new development at the pond bog has been this small wolf spider, living in a 'cave' of rocks which we originally constructed for tree frogs.

we saw them at the entrance for about a week, but due to the bog's propensity to flood after a rain, it seems they have now left in search of a drier home.

Union-jack Wolf Spider (genus Tasmanicosa).

a field wolf spider (Hogna lenta) squeezing down her burrow to consume her freshly-wrangled roach dinner in peace

unlike some other wolf spiders that construct burrows, H. lenta seems to be strictly nocturnal and their burrow entrances are well hidden and practically impossible to find. I imagine this helps them avoid the Anoplius spider wasps that are often seen hunting for them during the day.

#2001 - Artoria sp.

Photo by Patrick Wake.

A genus of small wolf spiders widespread throughout south-east Asia and found in all states and territories of Australia.

Originally described in 1877 by Tamerlan Thorell, although for a while some of the species were in the genera Artoriella and Trabeola. However, in 2002, Volker Framenau reviewed the genera and grouped them together again.

These spiders are somewhat sexually dimorphic, with males slightly smaller than females and often more distinctly coloured. Males may also have modifications of the first pair of legs or pedipalp ornamentations used during courtship.

Female wolf spider, I believe genus Pardosa (the “thin-legged wolf spiders”)

Wolf spiders have a reputation for being huge, so for context most of the Pardosa spp. I run into around here are NOT a very intimidating size (though I suppose opinions may vary re: what qualifies as a “big” spider lol). Here’s a non-macro reference:

#based on how close I was allowed to get and how little she was willing to move I think she’s at the end of her life :( #they’re not like orbies and Therediids they can see REALLY well and a healthy one would have booked it the second I hovered too long #spiders #spider #wolf spiders #Lycosidae #my photos

Hogna app wolf spiders always make me think of puppy dogs, for some reason.

Spiders found on the walls of buildings, even away from the rising water. Best to stay safe everywhere and climb up every building I guess.
