Don’t wolf spiders have the little hairs though? This spider did not have any hairs. I was close to it because I thought it was cool looking not realizing it could have been dangerous lol

Compare to “Shore Spider” Pardosa milvina. Some Wolf Spiders (Lycosidae) are hairier than others. It’s not a distinguishing characteristic, eye placement is more reliable.
