Lycosa sp.

Scientific Classification:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Arachnida
Order: Araneae
Suborder: Araneomorphae
Family: Lycosidae
Genus: Lycosa




Common Name: Lycosa, Wolf-spider, Garden-Spider(Brazil) or Tarantula(Brazil).

Well, I think everyone knows this spider, you can find it easily, specially if you have a ambushed garden. They are characterized by their eyes arrangement:
*NOTE: There's two more eyes behind the big ones.

The poison of these spiders are totally harmless to humans, but its bite can hurt. They make burrows, fill its wall with silk and live there for a while until they find a better place. The characteristic most impressive of wolf-spiders is the female brood care, after laying the egg, it's attached to spinnerets and carried wherever the female spider goes, a few weeks later, when the spider-lings emerge from the egg, they clamber on mother's abdomen, since there may be more than 100 spider-lings, layers are made.

    Hey, I fixed a few grammar problems in your post for you. If I put () around it. I changed it. Also, you really do overuse commas ,. Try more full sentences.
