MARTHA! don't listen to them, wolf spider DO bite, their venom is just not dangerous to us! But when they bite, they leave bleeding wounds, so gross

Yeah, that's a wolf spider. Hope you didn't kill it! He may be creepy looking, but he's harmless. :)

This is far more appetizing than the pig's bladder.

Based on it's markings and color-pattern, yeah, it's a wolf spider! (There's many different kinds) =^..^=

Some wolf spiders do hop at what they perceive to be a threat. It's cute if they are little tiny, but if they are big, yikes. :

I'm still trying to get past that you have a "blog studio". I want your life.

According to the North American Insects and Spiders site, it looks pretty close. http://www.cirrusimage.com/spider_wolf.htm

Not sure. Looks a little smooth to be wolf spider, but beautiful picture nonetheless

Definitely.Too.Close.
Julianna237 on October 22, 2009
His eyes sure look like a wolf spider's. I think they are beautiful creatures. I know, I'm crazy.
