Carolina Wolf Spider
The Carolina Wolf Spider is one of the largest species of wolf spiders found in the United States.
The Carolina Wolf Spider is a formidable hunter and is known for its quick speed and agile movements. It can grow up to an inch and a half long and is usually a dark brown color with gray markings on its legs and body. This spider is native to the southeastern United States, but its range extends to Arkansas.
Despite their large size and scary appearance, the Carolina Wolf Spider is not dangerous to humans. While they have venom, their bite is not toxic and will only cause a mild, temporary pain. They are also not aggressive and will only bite if they feel threatened.
