Comments on: Wolf Spider http://www.insectpod.com/2008/05/16/wolf-spider-3/ A daily photographic look at the world of insects, spiders, creepies, crawlies and critters.

I would love to do some photoshopping and use her in one of those cheezy B-movie shots where the giant bug invades a city ;-) (anyone out there with more skill than I, please feel free). I've actually been making a conscious effort to appreciate spiders, but it's still creepy when I go to scoop one of these up in a cup and hundreds of tiny baby spiders swarm off of her back! Almost as creepy as walking into a web in the woods and hearing the sound of a huge golden orb weaver's feet scrambling on your hat!

We can peacefully co-exist ;) (although even bug-loving me might freak out a bit if I woke up to one of those walking on me. Those leg bristles have to tickle) Thank you Aaron for convincing your family about the usefulness of spiders! We can peacefully co-exist ;)

Everyone else spent a lot of time chasing similar spiders out of their tends and scratching mosquito bites...
