Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Lauren Saldana, I'm an entomology major over at FSU, and I'm specializing in Arachnids. So today we're going to be talking about, how to identify the spiders of California.

And the next one that we'll be talking about is the wolf spider, which is very slender with long legs and has dark length white stripes running down the legs and has just a ton of hair all over them, covering their entire body, which is like a grayish kind of color.
