One Response to Wolf Spider (Family – Lycosidae)

  • Michael says:

    Wolf spiders are in principle venomous and their venom is poisonous. Bites that penetrates the skin can cause pain, swelling and itchiness. Some people only experience the symptoms for a few minutes, while others get a wound that takes a few days to heal. Source: http://www.wolfspiders.org/
