The Rabid Wolf Spider (Rabidosa rabida) is the most commonly recorded, with 611 verified observations, about 27% of all wolf spiders reported in Arkansas. If you spot a wolf spider here, it is statistically most likely to be this one.
Arkansas also hosts less common wolf spiders such as Woodland Giant Wolf Spider, Dotted Wolf Spider and Shore 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.
