Arachnida Pardosa is a species belonging to the family of Wolf Spiders, known as Lycosidae. This spider is prevalent in various regions, including the Comunidad Valenciana, where it is commonly referred to as "araña lobo."

These spiders are known for their distinct characteristics:

• Appearance: Arachnida Pardosa features a robust body with a rich brown coloration, often adorned with subtle patterns that aid in camouflage. Their legs are typically long and spindly, allowing for swift movement.
• Behavior: Unlike other spiders, Wolf Spiders do not weave webs to catch their prey. Instead, they are active hunters with excellent vision, thanks to their eight eyes arranged in three rows.
• Habitat: They are versatile and can be found in diverse environments ranging from forests and grasslands to human gardens. In the Comunidad Valenciana, they thrive in both coastal areas and inland regions.
• Reproduction: Female Pardosa are known for their unique reproductive behavior, carrying their egg sacs attached to their spinnerets and, once hatched, the spiderlings ride on the mother’s back for protection.
• Diet: Their diet primarily consists of insects and other small invertebrates, which they actively hunt during the day or night.

Overall, the Arachnida Pardosa plays a crucial role in controlling insect populations, making them beneficial to local ecosystems in the Comunidad Valenciana.
