Spooky Wolf Spiders

the long version

Wolf spiders don’t spin webs to catch their food. What do they do instead? They hunt insects by using their sharp eyesight (they have eight eyes!) and incredible speed. People don’t have to worry about these spooky-looking spiders, however. Although the poison in their fangs can turn the inside of an insect into liquid, their bite can’t kill a person. These are just some of the surprising facts that young readers will discover as they explore the unusual world of these spooky spiders. Large, eye-popping photographs and fascinating, grade-appropriate text engage emergent and early readers as they learn about the natural habitat, diet, physical characteristics, and behavior of this unique invertebrate.
