Latin name: Pardosa amentata
Size: Females up to 8mms, males around 6mms.
Distribution: Commonly found throughout the UK.
Months seen: March to July.
Habitat: Grassland and hedgerows.
Food: Small insects.
Special features: These wolf spiders can be found amongst leaf litter at woodland edges, especially on sunny days. Like other wolf spiders they catch their prey by hunting rather than building a web.
The female carries her eggs in a round sack beneath her body. When the baby spiders hatch from their eggs the female carries the baby spiders on her back until they are big enough to fend for themselves.
