Wolf spider = good spider.

On that note, A few summers ago I caught one in a closed fist. Without realizing it was covered in a shit ton of babies... I then opened my hand to show my son and they scattered up my arm.

Yes, I freaked out. Might've caused my son some mental trauma.

That exact same thing happened in my garage last year.
It's unsettling to say the least.

Yup...had it happen here...there is only once incident I've had that was more "horrifying".



It involved me, a giant sun spider, a lab coat, a chair, work boots and I sweat to you it was a scene directly from Aliens.

The spider didn't explode.  The babies didn't scurry out of their dying mother.

Wolf spiders carry their young around on their backs.  The babies had already hatched and were just hitching a ride on the Mommy Spider Taxi.  Wolf spiders are actually pretty good caretakers of their young that way, and are usually one spider you -want-  to have around.

A better solution would have been a vacuum cleaner.  Or better yet, a glass and an index card to catch it and put it outside, where the spider - and its babies - belong.

Camel spiders are freaking awesome coolness, btw.  They're incredibly common in the desert south-west, and they're one of my favorite arachnids (they're NOT a true spider, though).  They're totally non-venomous, have the attitude of a pissed-off honey badger, and they eat anything they can catch, including scorpions, black widows, and brown recluses.

And yes, when they flare all four mandibles at you in a threat display, it's kinda creepy and freakish.

We messed with them on our trip to NM.










They didn't skitter away at all.  They just kind of sat there hoping you'd pick a fight.
