Down at ground level it is not safe to drop your guard as the Wolves are always out and about. There are countless species of this family of spider and all are excellent hunters. If you stand still and look down at any patch of shortish vegetation you are bound to see them scurrying around. Sometimes you will see what looks like a white ball on the abdomen; which is the egg sack that the female carries around for safe keeping until they hatch.
