Another Spider ID

[Dirtymike]

I have always known these to be called wolf spiders. We were camping and these things where everywhere. Walking all over the place their eyes light up like diamonds with led headlamps. They looked furry so we got a better pic.





It was not hair. It was momma with all her babies. Creepy! Kept feeling bugs crawling on us all night.

Oh yea, her and all her millions of little spider babies went in to the fire. But it did not make a dent. There were 100s of them running all over the place. Never seen anything like it. All with little tiny ones catching a ride.
THe mommas could fill your palm easy!

The Wolf with babies will creep you out for sure. But you wouldn't want to even go out side if her and ones like her weren't around. Low cost insect control. If you get my drift. Great close up by the way.

I was reading about them. They are friendlies. Was crazy we had a giant black wasp chasing one also. She managed to escape. Crazy night for sure.

i really TRY not to kill those...but if they hang around too long....oh well

[Dirtymike]

That one got the fire treatment cause she would not leave. We ran her off under a log and she came back and was just staring at us. She was infront of us by the fire and is how we seen her. I pretty sure she was plotting on us. The others would just run thru camp and keep on moving.
