The Georgia Wolf Spider (Tigrosa georgicola) is the most commonly recorded, with 879 verified observations, about 27% of all wolf spiders reported in Alabama. If you spot a wolf spider here, it is statistically most likely to be this one.
Alabama also hosts less common wolf spiders such as Shore Spider, Field Wolf Spider and Santa Rosa Wolf Spider, each recorded fewer than 100 times. These are the species worth a second look when you are out, since a sighting is more notable.
