Description
Took this snap of this BIG Wolf Spider a couple days ago, on the back of one of my chairs in the lair.. He's about 3 1/2 inches tip-to-tip - not that I measured him with any kind of precision...
For his continued health (and my peace of mind) I "escorted" him outside with a handy box..
Tara, this is the chair you were sitting in Monday afternoon - just thought you'd like to know that... :-P

Oh bloody HELL!!! I HATE those freakin' things! And I've seen more than a few in my life...once in Arizona I saw one out of the corner of my eye...I thought it was a rat at first, but no --- it was one of those damn wolf spiders...about 6 inches long...UGH!

Dang!!! and I'm with Victoria! Nice job 'escorting' him outdoors. They're actually good to have around - outside. They eat bugs. Nice shot, Rod!

WOW...this is a big spider, excellent capture, amazing details!
barryjeffer
Nasty little buggers, I would have done the same. Let him go back where he is more at home and leave mine alone. Bravo !

not my friends

Scary little bugger... I guess he just wanted to see the script too! cool shot!

Fook! I would probably run a mile!!

Great to hear he made it out alive, excellent photo.

Looks like a nice pet.

One big spider. Glad you did escort him outside instead of ending his life!

Spiders dont bother me to much, but yes, escorted outside is a great place to see him off to lol

Cool idea to provide an escort service. Beautiful spider & great capture (in more ways than one)

Great work on this really cool capture, Rod. I've never seen one like this before

Sheesh! I hope he hasn't been there since Sunday! LOL!

OH WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! That's one nice spider! I never see 'em that big around here. I am a HUGE spider advocate - always trying to convince people that they are our best, first line defense against pests. I am SO GLAD you didn't kill her Rod! GOOD MAN! Even my wife Holly saves spiders from people when she can. She grosses out the ladies at work when she scoops up a spider in a cup and takes it outside, lol. She was quite impressed that you didn't kill this lovely but instead took her outside and set her free. Nice going buddy!

Nice Rod, you didn't kill the animal . Well done photo. All the best Frans

Cool! I love spiders. The Wolf spiders we have in the desert look more like tarantulas. ")

Great photo!! Cool looking spider.....I don't care much for spiders....my sister is terrified of them. When I was a kid....my brother and I would walk around our yard looking for spider webs....then we'd find some ants, and throw the ants onto the web, and watch the spider weave a web around the ant....."LOL" ..... we did goofy things when we were kids. My favorite insect is the praying mantis.....they are just the coolest looking bug that I've ever seen!! "lol"!!! Great job Rod!!

Dangerous capture!

I would need escorting back in the house after someone ELSE removed that beast! LOL Preferably the ARMY!!! Nice erm....shot mate LOL Rob
jocko500
wonderful looking
FaeMoon
Gah! Yeah, no thanks. I don't think I'd easily share a living space with this fellow either.
boobunny
LOL, @ the Tara this is the chair you were just sitting in. Did you pick him up and carry him outside? I do that to some creepy crawlers sometimes, depends, but any little fast spiders creep me out and have to die.

Yikes! That is a big one. About every 10 years I see one that big in the basement. I too will put a glass over them and escort them to the woods. Then all the other insects come back DOH!
MagikUnicorn
Shes ready to attack :) Great shot

Oh she's a beauty! I love spiders, especially wolf spiders. To my eye they look absolutely perfectly "Predatory". This one is incredibly aggressive-looking, and must be an absolute holy terror to all other insects around. Great shot, She stands out brilliantly against the color of chair.
