Gladicosa gulosa (the drumming sword wolf spider [2]) is a type of wolf spider found, among other habits, in Beech-Maple forests of the US and Canada, where the spider can be found in the plant strata of ground, herb or shrub.[3]
Life cycle
[edit]This spider is nocturnal and hides during the day.[4] It makes no web or shelter of any kind and hides under leaves in the day.[4] The female carries its eggs in a spherical sac until they hatch, after which the spiderlings may ride on the female until able to fend for themselves.[4]
