Grr...3 spiders in one night.

These are only harmless wolf spiders, but I know how you guys like to see pictures.

Him looking at me.

From the back.

From the back again.

This was the biggest of the 3 wolf spiders, and I found them all in the span of about 20 min. I was on the floor putting in a PSU and bam I saw the first...grabbed a glass that was dry, and caught him. After I took pics of him, walked out of the room and saw another. Did the same thing with another glass.

After releasing the first one into the front yard, I turned around and saw this one right by the bathroom. I went ahead and released the second before getting him. He was much more active in the glass than the other two, pretty interesting really, and I HATE spiders.

 
I like the pictures from the back

:music: shake it from the back! sha-sha-shake it from the back...:music:
 
I hate spiders too. I've killed like 5 or so in the last couple weeks. Really tiny ones...like smaller than a pencil eraser. I don't know what kind they are, but I'm going to have the apt complex come spray my apartment soon.
 
If they are little ones, yeah, I don't mind killing them...harder to capture and release anyway. But these guys were quite easy to capture and release. Just plopped the glass down on top of them, slid a piece of paper under the glass, picked up from under paper, then tossed them out the door. Maybe they will go kill some pests.

:thumbsup:

Wolf spiders, although nasty looking, are very good critters to have around.
 
I had 3 today too. I'm always paranoid that they are brown recluse since I'm up here in Illinois *knock on wood*. It's common for me to have spiders in my room every so often because I have a small whole in my screen window and I usually have the window open. It's warm enough to use the AC now so hopefully that will cut back a bit. 🙁

EDIT: Synthdude screwed up our nice line of wolf avatars. 😀

when you say "harmless," do you really mean harmless or a tongue in cheek way of saying they are death and the minions of the seventh level of hell follow?

*damn spiders* :| 🙁

Wolf spiders are actually very good to have around. They don't harm humans AFAIK and they eat all kinds of other pests you don't want in your house.

I release Huntmen into the garden, but wolf spiders I tend to squash with a boot.

um, I thought wolf spiders give a nasty, painful bite, and in rare cases you get that syndrome where your skin rots away..?

lol, you've been squashing harmless bugs because you thought they had a nasty painful bite that caused your skin to rot away? 😛

No man, they are VERY common, and harmless.

I would imagine it would hurt a bit if they gave you a bite 🙂

Yeah. :shudder;

Those things scare me. Other spiders, I'm okay with, so long as they're not in my bed.
