Wolf spider habitat.
Wolf spiders hunt their prey instead of catching their prey in a web, like most other spiders. Wolf spiders tend to remain near the ground often found under stones or leaves. Unlike most spiders, the wolf spider has excellent eyesight which makes spotting its prey easier. Some wolf spiders will lay in underground burrows waiting for prey to come near where they can pounce on them while others chase after and stalk their prey.
