Geocache Description:

Wolf Spiders hunt at night. They are often large, generally brown and black, and may have stripes on both their abdomen and head. They are very common, especially in new housing developments where the soil has been disturbed. They frequently enter homes. They are relatively harmless but their bite can produce local pain and swelling.

Spiders serve a very beneficial purpose in nature, often feeding on nuisance critters such as mosquitoes, gnats, flies, crickets. etc. All spiders have venom; that is how they kill their prey. However, most bites are usually not medically significant, with the exception of bites from widow spiders and recluse spiders. If you are bitten by a spider, you may experience a red, swollen, itchy area on your skin. In most cases, these go away without much care or attention. If you feel or see the spider biting you, wash the area with soap and water. Call the Poison Center for further instructions 1-800-222-1222.
