'''Wolf spiders''' are members of the [[Family (biology)|family]] '''Lycosidae''' ({{etymology|grc|''{{wikt-lang|grc|λύκος}}'' ({{grc-transl|λύκος}})|wolf}}), named for their robust and agile hunting skills and excellent eyesight. They live mostly in solitude, hunt alone, and usually do not spin [[spider web|web]]s. Some are opportunistic [[Hunting|hunters]], pouncing upon [[Predation|prey]] as they find it or chasing it over short distances; others wait for passing prey in or near the mouth of a burrow. Wolf spiders resemble [[nursery web spider]]s (family Pisauridae), but wolf spiders carry their egg sacs by attaching them to their [[spinneret]]s, while the Pisauridae carry their egg sacs with their [[chelicerae]] and [[pedipalp]]s. Two of the wolf spider's eight eyes are large and prominent; this distinguishes them from nursery web spiders, whose eyes are all of roughly equal size. This can also help distinguish them from the similar-looking [[Agelenidae|grass spider]]s.
