Overview
the beach wolf spider (arctosa littorails) is a beach creature in empires of the undergrowth. it is not a big of a problem in its early stage's, however. even if they cannot take many hits, they can deal brutal damage in combat. in fact, i have tested them in the battle arena and the large wolf spider are the 2nd strongest enemy in the game. (They are no longer the 2nd strongest, because of the fire ant update.)

tiny wolf spiders
even though they are small, but they can brutal damage to a very young colony if they are not ready for it. tiny wolf spiders can come in large packs, but can be quickly dealt with from a large colony.
small wolf spiders
they can pack a punch to a medium or even a large-sized colony. but a tiger beetle can take one out. they give 110 food which is alot of food, even for a large colony!
medium wolf spiders
medium wolf spiders are a REAL pain to deal with for a large colony but they are thankfully a piece of cake for a huge colony, however. that is if they are a small pack. if it is a large pack then well, say goodbye to a enemy colony if they attack.
large wolf spiders
no doubt, the king of its kind. not only could it deal venom damage but it can EAT ants and other bugs to HEAL. like i said, it is the 2nd strongest creature in the game. (Again, Because of the fire ant update, They are no longer the 2nd strongest.) but a huge colony might be able to take one down.
strengths
here are the strengths of the wolf spider. 1:they can deal with both group attacks and 1v1 (i guess?) 2:they are nocturnal, meaning they only come out at night, but that is not a strength. 3:they are fast, similarly to a tiger beetle. 4:they can deal very high damage but cant take to many hits.
weakness's
here are the weakness's of the wolf spider. 1:ants that deal very high damage (such as army ant majors and leaf cutter majors) can deal with large wolf spiders. 2:they are fast, so use rapid-fire wood ants with level 3 to slow them down. 3:ants that can crowd-control such as army ant majors can deal with them very quickly. 4:since the large wolf spider has devour (a abillty which ins-ta kills a small creature to heal itself) use large ants to make sure it never heals.
how to counter
after you heard all of that you are probably thinking, "how do i counter the wolf spider?" well, here are 3 things you should do to counter it. 1:you can lure a wolf spider to other creatures just as a large bush crickets but you will need more then one. 2:a wolf spider inside a nest go for your brood area's then your queen. 3:you should use not only leaf cutter and army ant majors, but also wood ants since their acid will deal very high damage.
summary
to summarize, the wolf spider is a heavy damage dealing foe and is very fast and has strengths but also weakness's to keep you on your toes. also, here's a link to the wiki about the wolf spider. wiki articale[en.wikipedia.org]

the large wolf spider was 2nd in strength since of the whip spider in 3.1 but as tier 4 came 2 new titans were introduced and the bombardier beetle which melts your entire army so now it is like 4th or 5th maybe even 6th or 7th. dont forget that the sand BEAR wolf spider exists now (arctosa perita).

Or, get this, just throw 50 ants at the problem.

The wolf spider's only weakness is its love for Pagonini. If you have a violin, start practicing NOW. If not, go get one immediately. You're welcome.

Make ants, win

I have a suggestion, instead of everything else for the weaknesses, just put "they have none, pray and when your all your ants are dead uninstall and smash keyboard repeatedly."
