i sat in my garage one night, drinking, and watching a wolf(i think) spider build his web. he was about the size of a silver 1/2 dollar....so not that big.

 it's actually REALLY amazing to watch them work. it took him hours to do it. then i fed him.  :noid :bolt:

when i was about 13 years old. mom almost killed all three of us..my brother, me and her....because of a spider about the size of a nickel.

 see...mom is terrified of them. both my brother and i used to make fun of her because of this.

 well, one night, she's driving up gibbsboro rd, and sees a spider on her windshield. she decides to play "cool" and simply hits the wipers, along with the washer.......it all went wonderful, till the wipers swiped twice, and spidey was still there.
 now she goes into a panic, as she realized that spidey was on the INSIDE of the windshield.  :rofl
 she grabbed a note tablet out of the center console, and started trying to swat it. meanwhile, traffic in front of us wasn't moving anymore, and we were still doing around 30 mph. she nearly locked up the brakes trying to miss the car in front. launched me onto the floor in the back, and my brother had to brace on the dashboard.

 she hasn't made that mistake again.  :noid

I was riding around the field behind my house on our four wheeler.  I made a turn and went through some trees.  When I came out there was a spider on the MFD (?) screen.  I jumped off the fourwheeler and sprained my ankel real bad.  Four wheeler didn't get so lucky...

I don't think wolf spiders spin webs, those little salamanders dash around on the floor going about 2 miles an hour (thats fast for a spider) and looks like the second picture posted.

Correct. Wolf Spiders are active hunters. They have a den, but they actively chase down prey.

When I used to dove hunt at this public place up in Temple Texas (pretty good place, only place I could ever actually hit the damn dove, surprisingly enough, with a .410), and there was brush/weeds/grass(almost like corn, stiff and dry, and pretty tall, so grasshopper heaven) and after a big rain, I'd go down there, and run into garden spiders the size of my hand, there was one place where there were so many, I thought they were gonna drag me away.


Spiders, scorpions, and centipedes are the only creatures I will kill without hesitation, but mostly scorpions and centipedes. I won't go out of my way to kill a spider.

LMAO cap1 the spider on inside of windshield has happened to me.  Sucks when your doing 60mph and a huge spider is crawling on you.  Whats even worse is when you get a bee in your helmet riding down the rode.

lol, be careful Bosco.
Yea I know, not the instant I post it, I thought there would be someone that will not like this post. So far, it's been good, and hey, that's the cruel world but it happens, just funny to watch how dam fast that spider moved in to kill that thing.

Of course, most people know that I'm not a cruel and sadistic person, but I may have a harsh sense of humor.

I can't believe there's no pictures still....

I woke up one morning to go to work and put on my shoes halfway to step outside for a minute.  I felt a lump in my shoe but I figured a coin had just fallen in there so I walked around temporarily until I started to feel a sickening squish...well I go to the kitchen to empty the shoe and lo and behold is Sheba herself laying in her dying clutches.



 I shook my shoes out before putting them on for about 3 weeks after that.
