Most spiders have eight eyes (but they can have up to twelve). Most wolf spiders (Lycosidae) hunt in dusk and moonlight. Their four large posterior eyes have well-developed tapeta (light reflecting crystals) which help them spot prey movement in low light. At night, they can be easily seen as the tapeta in their large eyes shine bright in torchlight.
