Another wolf spider, though much smaller than the Hogna, belonging to the genus Pardosa. In fact, the wolf spiders in this genus and similar make up a large portion of the diet of the Hogna species. This one is a voracious predator despite its diminutive size, and is quite powerful and acrobatic when hunting its prey. It also seems less skittish than the larger wolf, and rather than scurrying away when pestered, tends to rear up and try to bite.
Wolf spiders make very interesting pets and are relatively easy to care for. The main thing is that they need fresh water, all the time. They are big drinkers and will visit their water dish several times a day.
