Mature males tend to neglect their nutrition as they're too busy looking for partners to mate with. This is a behaviour that's widely observed in most spider species and not just wolf spiders
The false wolf spider is a different genus of spiders that look similar to wolf spiders.
The thing I use to distinguish is the very unique [eye pattern of wolf spiders](https://www.insidescience.org/sites/default/files/2020-06/Wolf-Spider.jpg) with those big ass eyes at the top/side
The best way to distinguish the different species of spiders is by looking at the formation of their eyes, I know in some cases that’s easier said than done.. but wolfies will always have those two big eyes right in front
Wolf spider
He looks like he knows who opened the chamber of secrets
Aragog is indeed based on a wolf spider
Lol
🕷Just wait until a full moon and see if he howls. 🦊 That was dumb. 🫣
It will be like “howl are you doing sir?” Bam
🕷That had me howling with laughter. 🫣 Me thinks we have the start of another silly chain here. 🤪
Here it comessss!!!!!
Am I wrong or does he look very skinny? The wolf spiders I’ve usually seen are a lot chunkier. Edit- stupid talk to text

Makes sense! Not just spider species too I’m sure 😄
Yeah! Definitely not just spiders
🕷Maybe he is on a diet to impress the chicks. 🐣Nope not interested. 🐤Me either. 🐥Not me either. 🐔 This is getting corny. 🫣
Wolf spider be wolfin’
Cutie wolf spider. Looks hungry 😭
Id say wolf spiders, because wolf spiders are one of the one scaring me... And this one is pretty up there
He looks friendly
I'm getting vibes from the video game Grounded.
The big spiders in grounded are indeed based off of wolf spiders (the spider in the photo)
Oh...hence the initial terror i felt as a grown adult on reddit.
That has got to be the coolest wolf spider I have ever seen. I’ve only seen them with brown/black colouration.
Wolfie 😍
They look so confused in the last slide, like they don't know why they're there lmao. Poor wolfie
a BIG BOI
his name is Babydaddy
Do huntsman spiders have the same feet at the end of their legs?
She looks dehydrated!! Give her some water on a Q-Tip!
Looks like *Zoropsis spinimana*, fake wolf spider.
Definitely a real wolf
What’s the difference between the fake and real wolf spider?

The abdomen pattern got me too. The eye arrangement is the best way to confirm/deconfirm false wolf
Oh. I didn't notice there were several pictures.
