Spiders
« on: May 27, 2015, 11:12:02 pm »
Found this thing on my porch tonight.  It's sitting on a 6" wide deck board.  Seems like I find a few of them on the porch each summer.  Its having a snack.  Notice the tiny spider behind it?

Yikes. If that were around my house I think my wife would insist on burning the whole thing down and moving a state or two away.

Looks like a big ol wolf spider.  My yard is full of their burrows.  Its pretty cool how their two big eyes reflect the light.  Josh

My Buddy and I were getting ready to paint a house. He had just pulled a shutter and one of those over sized wolf spiders took a defensive posture right by his face. This was a second story window and I thought for sure he was gonna fall. It was definitely the fastest I've ever seen him move at work. I don't think his foot even hit a rung on the way down. It was the biggest spider I've ever seen in the wild. The home owner saw it and called the exterminator on the spot.

I'm surprised there's no pic with an arrow sticking out of it ;D 

We also get a fisherman spider that is huge like that.

I have seen the fisherman spiders along the creek in the rocks. Once saw one catch a tadpole and eat it.

We have quite a few black widows around.  I leave them alone if I can.  We had one have a nest of babies on our rabbit cages.  The wife was afraid they would bite the baby rabbits so I had to remove them.

That big ol' gal is gonna eat a corn crib load of pests and nasties if you leave her alone.  She's downright handsome, I'd say. But then I like a lot of leg.

I'm a leg man myself, but that one has too many.
