Plus 16 more recorded only rarely (fewer than 10 verified sightings). Counts from verified iNaturalist observations.

The Tigrosa grandis (Tigrosa grandis) is the most commonly recorded, with 184 verified observations, about 24% of all wolf spiders reported in Nebraska. If you spot a wolf spider here, it is statistically most likely to be this one.

Nebraska also hosts less common wolf spiders such as Carolina Wolf Spider, lance wolf spider and Shoreline 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.
