Rabidosa of the wolf spider family is a relatively small genus comprising just five species. They inhabit different parts of North America.
Size: Female spiders are around 0.82 inches (2.0 cm), and males are smaller, measuring 0.47 inches (1.2 cm)
Color: They have a pale beige to brown body with black patterns on their abdomen and legs.
Other Characteristic Features: These spiders have two vertical stripes on their bodies.
Female spiders make egg sacs with silk then lay eggs in those cocoons.
After their hatching, spiderlings stay on the back of their mother until they become independent.
They do not make such webs; instead, they generate silk from their mouth to wrap their prey or even safeguard the eggs and spiderlings.
They are not considered fatally venomous for people, rather they would prefer to run away if they feel threatened. However, their bite could be slightly painful.
