Wolf spider

Been warm in Texas. Spotted this critter meandering across the drive.

 

Make sure you dance if you get bit!

 

I would definitely do the river dance if bitten. In the summer I see ATLEAST a few per day. Never been bitten knock on wood.

 

I did a report on this spider in 4th grade. There is a legend about a town outlawing dancing, so the people conspired to claim they were bitten and that dancing was the only cure.

 

+1, laters...just my luck Karma will do a dance on me

 

I hope you killed that evil S.O.B. I hate spiders especially big ones like that.

 

Eeeewwww! I did not need to see that! I seriously HATE spiders! That picture left me feeling creepy!

 

What she said!

 

In my defense the thread title did say spider.

 

I hate spider bites. They take forever to heal. I go out on the porch and vacuum the ceiling where they like to hang out. Big fat ones that breed hundreds of little spiders.

 

Yes it did....I admit I was curious, never heard of a wolf spider before, kind of wish I would have kept it that way

 

Hope you never see one. They get decent size and pack one mighty bite!

 

I don't like spiders, but I don't get all bent out of shape like I used to. I could still out run a horse if I saw a good sized one though lol.

 

We had spiders that looked a lot like that at our camp on Webb Lake. I always called them wolf spiders but I have no idea if they're the same up here in Maine, or a cousin. The bodies could get to an inch long. They seemed to like the damp dark areas below the camp mostly. Never had one bite me, but I was always watchin' for em… yeck…
