Introducing the male to the female.
He's really big just a few mm short of 3". Great care must be taken when introducing male wolf spiders, especially geolycosa which can be very aggressive toward the males.
Ive had one chase the male and kill him right after mating.
a large male i found, gonna try one more round with these guys- they are not easy to breed!
This genus is probably the most beautiful of all wolf spiders, IMO.
Cute lil babies. cannot be fed melanogaster. they require true flightless fruitflies (D. hydei).
once past the first couple of instars they will accept baby red runners
to make geolycosa happy you must create a sand and clay mixture and carefully saturate it. adequate ventilation at ground-level is important. it's best to add them whilst the clay is still moist- it assists them in sculpting their turret.
