It's officially wolf season

And by that I mean wolf spiders. I've already had 3 large females that needed removed this week and will likely see dozens more. I never need to hunt for them, they find me easy enough, lol.

Hogna aspersa (Lycosa) are what I'm finding...I'm pretty sure anyway...could be carolinensis but I don't think the leg banding matches those quite right. Not they are dangerous but it still unnerves me to see a 25mm+ spider run across my floor, lol.

Anyway, I'm going to collect a few and try to get some good images to post at some point. Just thought I'd share my little critter antics for the week.

If they are carolinensis I want some x)

I had a friend with a huge female for awhile here in California, we searched desperately for a male with out any luck.

I was out of state recently and I tried finding some but it was still to cold.

I have some jumpin spiders, but no wolves.

I picked up what looks like a penultimate female Hogna helluo yesterday. She's already taken a couple flies, very fun to watch.
