Description
Tasmanicosa gilberta Is a species of large burrowing wolf spider found in South Australia. They construct short burrows in bushland with a palisade of leaves and other debris around the edge, and emerge at night to hunt around the burrow. They ambush passing prey, sinking their fangs into the back of the insect’s neck. They are mildly venomous but timid and very fast, handling is not recommended.
Max body length: 23mm
Native habitat: open areas, with open eucalypt woodland nearby

Very sassy and large! I got a male originally but he didn’t survive the travel and bug frenzy was very quick to replace him for me with a very sassy and defensive female that’s in amazing shape

The Union-Jack wolf spider is a great looking spider easy to look after and eats very well

I’ve had my Bruce for about a week now and the guy is a great eater. Any cricket I put in his enclosure is in his mouth within seconds. He is also very extroverted and rarely out of site. Thanks for the great spider, Bug Frenzy!
