About that spider pic from yesterday...

Nov 13, 2006 23:48

So I did like mordyn4 suggested, and I posted the picture of the spider from yesterday's post on spiderphotos. They were very friendly and incredibly enthusiastic (one person said the picture is "super cool"), and they told me that the spider (I'm going to call it Betty from now on :P) was a female wolf spider, and that those things on her back are her babies. Yes, ( Read more... )

scary, silliness, photos

Ha! I knew it were tiny spiders! *shudders* Coatis feed on spiders, though...

We have lots of wolf spiders here, but they look somewhat different (yet with all the tiny spiders on her back, it's hard to tell...). *glances around frantically*

They said that there are different kinds of wolf spiders. I took the photo up in the mountains, so maybe they're a bit hairier there because it's cooler? :O

O_O But do you feed on spiders? :O

I had a closer look at your photo and tried to imagine how it looked like without the babies - the ones around here are actually somewhat similar, although a bit smaller (about 2/3rd of an average hand). I've never seen a wolf spider in the alpine regions, though.

*retches* Urgh... :P

Human hand? O_O That's not a spider, that's a MONSTER! :O

I thought it was a wolf spider - I should know, the space behind the wall pannelling in my old room (at my parents' house) is full of them...

They usually don't bite, but they're wickedly fast and therefore difficult to catch (I always tried to catch them to get them outside - not counting the one that fell on my head and woke me up when I was asleep. That one I killed out of sheer annoyance ;)

EWWWWW!!!!

EEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! Though at least it didn't fall into your mouth. :O

Thank God I don't sleep with my mouth open ;)

But apart from such incidents, I've gotten used to the fact that there are always spiders around - I grew up in the countryside in a house on the edge of a wood, and there's no escaping the wildlife there...

Eugh, wildlife. I like wildlife to stay in the wild, and out of my flat. ;)

Oooo… great photo! I love spiders! And thanks for the link, cos I’ve just spent ages looking through the pretty pics on spiderphotos...

I know, I’m weird. :)

I think you're the only one here that likes the photo. :P

I looked through their pictures too. Some of the more exotic spiders are quite beautiful. Of course it helps that I know I'll probably never come across them when I'm out walking. :D The one I posted was just horrible because it was huge, and hairy, and had babies, and it had an evil smile, and I was standing only one metre away from it. O_O
