@ssraper300 I imagine light amplification goggles might aid in finding wolf spiders, but since wolf spider eyes don't actually produce light themselves, you still need a light source to reflect off of them.
Tonight I went outside with a flashlight looking for a baby bird that couldn't fly and I noticed little sparkles in the grass everywhere. I walked up to one and was surprised to see that it was a grass spider. I am never walking around outside barefoot at night again. I'm guessing their webs were reflecting the light.
But hey... if i had a spider leeping near my house like this one you betcha that i'm calling my dad or my mom to kill it i wouldn't even dare trying to look, kill or touch it !
@jerm138 They're most definitely wolf spiders. Grass spiders belong to the funnel web spider Family Agelenidae and belong to Genus Agelenopsis. They have a much different set of eyes and don't quite reflect light like wolf spiders. They have a similar color pattern to these wolf spiders, but are quite different.
I have encountered several wolf spider mothers with babies on their back. They're quite neat.
@jerm138 Incorrect actually. These specific spiders are called rabidosa rabida (or rabid wolf spiders). This is actually a common way to find them at night, as their two biggest eyes reflect the light back at you, sometimes called diamonds.
"your yards probably as full as mine"
where the fuck do you live, cause I'm making a mental note to NEVER buy a house there. fuck spiders.

Those aren't wolf spiders, they're grass spiders.
Try finding one this way with babies on it's back... it looks like a disco ball.

@jerm138 Yep, definitely Lycosids. Agelenids are more common in deep grass or hedges.
