In Europe alone there are more than 90 species of LYCOSIDAE (Wolf spiders) all very similar. They do not make a web but hunt visually using their very good eyes. 4 eyes below, 2 in front and 2 on top. With most species the ♀ takes along the egg cocoon on her back, after hatching the young spiders, which hop off to go their own way after a few days.
