There another smaller one in the same area. He appears to be hunting. There is a different kind of spider in a place about 6 ft away that caught one of these in her web last night.
It looks like a Wolf Spider. They hunt on-foot, like wolves. The smaller one might be a male attempting to approach for mating. Yes, spiders routinely eat spiders, their own species, their own siblings, the males that try to mate, offspring sometimes eat their own mother, the mother might eat her offspring. That’s a reason they tend to live alone. š
No wolf spiders hbe a solid black stripe goind down
There are many species in several genera with a variety of markings. Many have the black abdomen stripe with a white cephalothorax stripe, like this one.
I know! I just posted another pic of the spider that ate it. But these folks are all within a 5 ft area!
Most likely a grass spider
Iād probably fall over and die if it jumped at me so I was shaking while trying to take pictures!
Well, I’m glad you didn’t because then we would have to tell people that they’re deadly spiders after all! š
