The Georgia Wolf Spider (Tigrosa georgicola) is the most commonly recorded, with 477 verified observations, about 34% of all wolf spiders reported in Mississippi. If you spot a wolf spider here, it is statistically most likely to be this one.
Mississippi also hosts less common wolf spiders such as Dotted Wolf Spider, Shore Spider and Sosippus mimus, each recorded fewer than 100 times. These are the species worth a second look when you are out, since a sighting is more notable.
