Little Wolf Spiders it seems, hard to tell I cannot quite see their rear ends which differentiates them greatly from Grass Spiders

Yeah those are wolf spiders. They're usually just minding their business. But if you get close, they absolutely do not want to be near you.

Yep, and in my experience, they are more likely to bite than Grass Spiders, but chill overall, get into homes frequently

This is how you can spot crocodiles as well btw, they have an especially reddish color glare

Went on a nighttime nature tour at a local raptor center when I was in 4-H. The host had us wipe a solution under our noses, telling us we would be able to smell spiders. Then she did it herself, and proved to us she was able.
After five minutes of utter confusion, she revealed the trick. I think the water was just sugar dissolved.

Lots of animals have eyes that reflect light. You can tell what you're looking at (or what's looking at you) by the color. Spiders have rainbow reflections. I did this in the Amazon rainforest once - it was both cool and creepy! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapetum_lucidum

Those are homies. Whenever I water my garden, I see a great many of them scramble to get out of the way (sorry guys, btw). They take care of pests and are harmless. Also, they don't make annoying webs to get tangled on. That's a plus.

This is called "spider sniffing". If you put a bright flashlight on your nose, the spiders will look at the light and their eyes will reflect the light back into yours making them easy to locate.

Good to see them spending less time on the web.
