Wolf spiders are members of the family Lycosidae. They are robust and agile hunters with excellent eyesight. They live mostly in solitude, hunt alone, and usually do not spin webs. Some are opportunistic hunters, pouncing upon prey as they find it or chasing it over short distances; others wait for passing prey in or near the mouth of a burrow.

<i>Chalcoscirtus lepidus</i> Species of spider

Chalcoscirtus lepidus is a species of jumping spider in the genus Chalcoscirtus that has been found in Afghanistan, Iran, Tajikistan,Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. The spider was first defined in 1996 by Wanda Wesołowska, although the first male was identified three years later. The spider is small, with a carapace between 1.06 and 1.2 mm long and an abdomen between 1.03 and 2.2 mm long. The female is larger and lighter than the male and has three narrower stripes on the back while the male has a large scutum. In both cases, the carapace is plain. The scutum and lack of pattern on the carapace help distinguish the spider from related species. It can also be identified by its copulatory organs, particularly the long curved embolus on the male and the position of the copulatory openings on the female epigyne, which differ from the otherwise similar Chalcoscirtus infimus.
