The wolf spider is found here in Oklahoma. It isn't a web-spinning spider, but roams at night to hunt for food. The wolf spider ranges in size from 1/2 inches to 2 inches in length. It is hairy and typically brown to gray in color with various markings or lines. The wolf spider is often confused with the brown recluse, but as you can see the wolf spider doesn't have the violin-shaped marking behind the head. The wolf spider is not poisonous, though bites may cause reactions in certain individuals.
