Wolf Spider :)

This is a wolf spider I caught in my backyard in the wood pile. I do not know the ID.

It is eating a freshly molted lobster roach (Nauphoeta cinerea) in these photos.

Beautiful spider! Looking head on at it in the first picture, reminds me of a gorilla Gonna print this out and put it by my husband's pillow tonight

[Deac77]

Soooooooo mean!

[Faith]

haha he so deserves it and then some. His reaction would be Funniest Home Videos quality I'm sure

@ Cam, how long have you known this little fellow to be back there? I'm no good at figuring out the ages of spiders but he looks pretty darn big (none of them around here make it that big and if they do, I lose track of them after awhile.)

[KingCam]

When I discovered it in the wood pile two months ago I brought it indoors. I have no idea how long they live.

It is definitely the biggest spider I've seen in my yard.

Nice I wasn't sure if he was still kicking it out there or not. We have tons of spiders around our wood piles (yes, I'm the one forced to gather the wood, haha) but I agree, we've never had any near that size that I've seen. Half that...maybe.

beautiful spider. I must say I am quite jealous that you were able to get such a good shot. I agree, it does remind me a little of a gorilla face.

Thanks! and with my cell phone no less :P I was surprised it came out so well, too

[arielgasca420]

oh wow! I wish I could get pictures this well. my iphone 3GS doesnt have flash so it limits me at night or indoors

[Faith]

You took that with a cellphone? ;_; It takes better quality pictures than my camera! *has a cruddy non-smart phone with a camera that is probably as old as my kids* xD

Thanks for sharing, Cam! Cool critter you got from your yard. But those long-hairy spider arms are kind of, very slightly, creeping me out. lol

Hey, I love all animals, even had a rose haired tarantula in college for a bit. But if I saw something like that running around my room, that's grounds for execution via half a can of raid...
