They definitely don't need help breeding from us.

I used to find black widows all the time, but for the past several years, I have only seen one or two. Brown widows have taken over.
There's a fenceline behind my apartment that has several L. mactans all set up along it. Recently I found a geo female and a couple male suitors. Went back that day with a vial of ethanol to nip that problem in the bud. Already had several sacs too. I'm keeping a really close eye on that fence now.

Lycosidae can be found pretty much everywhere besides Antarctica and can be found by using a flashlight near your face to send light into there eyes and back to yours making there eyes twinkle with green coloration you can find them easy using that method and adults can be found at pretty much any time of the year and they grow pretty fast too (compared to Ts that is) from what ive seen online mating them is pretty easy too

If I can find a male and female of the same species, I would definitely try lycosidae. Lycosids are pretty common around my house and I love keeping them.

Same here I'm just waiting for my female Hogna Carolinensis to become a MF then I'll find her a mate (or snack seeing that she eats anything put in front of her)
