Wolf spiders are robust and agile hunters with good eyesight. They live mostly solitary lives and hunt alone. Some are opportunistic wanderer hunters, pouncing upon prey as they find it or chasing it over short distances. Others lie in wait for passing prey, often from or near the mouth of a burrow.

This particular wolf spider was hunting the dust bunnies in our kitchen at work. It took very little effort (other than fast reflexes) to catch it in this cup and carry outside for release. My apologies to any arachnophobes!
