    Looks like a wolf spider,
    No joke.
    About 3" in diameter?

    Nope. I should have put something in the picture for size reference. Only about 1/2" long body, little longer legs. Just a little guy. Just curious if anyone knew anything about them. I've seen some big azz spiders in the wood piles. I think that's those wolf spiders. Scare ya!:faint:

    I think XXL has it with the nursery wed spider---common in New Jersey and New York---I'd have put him outside if he wasn't already in spider heaven...

    Its a damm fishing spider, real fast and completely harmless...... unless you scream bloody murder like i do! :hair:




    I had a smaller one next to the recliner last week on the wall. I was helpless, no one to get rid of the thing. I didn't go for any small potato napkin, but rather a bunch of paper towels, which is why what i tried to do didn't work...... to much spongy compression. It darted on the floor and under my favorite recliner! Oh hell no! I flipped that thing with a few fingers, and it flipped twice and i Got it! Dogs looked at me in full warning mode. They knew something weird was going on.

    Thanks for tagging me Woody...... your the best. o_O

    the bigger they are, the more severe the reaction, no? Don't creep me, but I do give them a distance....unless they are inside-then I give them a sentence.

    I have been bit twice that I can recall. Little car spider packed a punch when he got ornery on my forearm!
