Wolf Spiders - Lycosidae

One of the key characteristics of Wolf Spiders is the eye arrangement. Most spiders have 8 eyes, and Wolf Spiders have 2 large eyes out front, just like headlights.

All spiders including wolf spiders have some venom, but none of the North American wolf spiders are dangerous to humans, A bite usually isn't any worse than a bee sting.

are wolf spiders poisonous?

Minor quibble - not all spiders have eight eyes. Perhaps "Most spiders have 8 eyes" would be more accurate?? Nice images, BTW.
