I often freak people out by picking up Wolf Spiders.
I don’t like killing them, because as the article says, they are our friends.
I always save a spider’s life too. Scoop them in a cup and put them outside. I don’t know if all of them are friendly though. Not really sure if we have any super deadly types in CO. Anyway, we’ve never had any problems with any of them.
They are. Even black widows serve a purpose. However, their bite can make someone really sick so I kill them. Sad, but better than one of my family members getting bit.
I like wolf spiders, they are kinda cool. When I ride my mountain bike at night around Dallas I see their little purply-green eyes shining in my headlight.
All I can see are their eyes, guess their bodies blend in pretty well.
Stay safe out there FReeper wolfies, y’all rock it in the night.
I happen to like spiders. The Wolf Spider is one of my favorites. That gal can run like blue blazes when she’s chasing something. Hence the name. She doesn’t spin a web, she just chases things. I’ve got a soft spot for one of her cousins, the common centipede(Scutigera coleoptrata). That little bugger goes after cockroaches big time! Don’t like the other side of the Arachnid family though, ticks. Can do without them.
