Coastal Ivory Wolf Spider (Tetralycosa oraria)

Encountered along the sandy shores of South Australia, Tasmania, and Victoria, these are medium-sized wolf spiders, boasting body lengths ranging from 19 to 24mm. By day, they meticulously craft silk sacs just beneath the sand, fashioning a haven of air and space where they leisurely reside (often pressed against the enclosure walls, facilitating effortless observation). Under the veil of night, they venture forth to prey upon diminutive invertebrates such as cockroaches, beetles, and fellow arachnids.
