I am in the Lycosidae family

Commonly called a Wolf Spider

Like the wolf I'm a solitary hunter

And though I look scary, I'm not much of a biter.

(Note: Like all spiders, Wolf Spiders contain venom, but in general, it is not harmful to humans, only other bugs.)

Location: St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park, Fellsmere
