Kaua’i Cave Wolf Spider
Usually Found: Kōloa-Poʻipū region of Kaua’i, Hawaii
When you think about a wolf spider, you’re thinking about an incredibly creepy species of spider. While the Kaua’i Cave Wolf Spider is not exactly the prettiest spider species on the planet, it’s usually harmless to humans. Native to the Kōloa-Poʻipū region of Kaua’i, Hawaii…the species differs slightly from other wolf spiders in terms of size.
They usually only get to 0.8 inches, and they also produce 15 to 30 eggs per clutch which is much more than you see from others. The female will carry the egg sac in her mouth until the young hatch too. The species is entirely blind without any eyes whatsoever, and are obviously in caves. Yet unlike other species on the list, they are in caves within a lava flow. Unlike other wolf spiders, this species tends to feed entirely on decomposing plant matter.
