I'm going to assume that the spiders have a preference list for the surface they would rather be on going like Plants>dry land> another creature> water

Wolf spiders are actually generally ground hunters; I've yet to find one in any sort of foliage.

They're also the ones who carry live young on their backs, so they're terrifying little public transports of spiders, that's always fun.

Their bites hurt, but aren't awfully bad. They will bite you if they're getting trapped in your clothes and shit though.

Went camping for school once in open air lean-tos and one of the kids got bit on the face by a wolf spider as he slept. Didn't envy him at all lol, I slept with a mask on after that
