Wolf Spiders are among the largest spiders in the metro-Atlanta area, growing up to about 3.25", including the legs. They are usually light brown or tan with darker markings along the body, though they are found with other combinations of brown tones. They are usually found in mulch beds, gardens, and under rocks or logs.

Despite their appearance, wolf spiders are not dangerous to humans, and will avoid contact with most animals larger than itself. They will bite if provoked, but the bite is not dangerous, and the body will react as if to an ant bite or bee sting. There may be some swelling and itching, which will usually disappear after several hours.
