This is to show how big the wolf spider is. I didn't take this picture I found it doing research. Some people confuse these with tarantulas due to size. This picture I'm showing here is one of the larger wolf spiders. A tarantula on the other hand can get anywhere from 1-12 inches. that's 2.5 - 30 centimeters. Wolf spiders may or may not be aggressive but will inject venom freely if continually provoked. Symptoms of their venomous bite include swelling, mild pain and itching. Though usually considered harmless to humans, the bite of some species may be painful.
