You haven't seen a wolf spider until you meet up with one in the badlands of South Dakota.Miniature tarantulas

banana spiders too

You didn't wet yourself just a little bit did you?

made mud.

Hey, I'm tough ya know. I was able to beat it down with a stick and I almost won!

For all the spider haters and lovers, I heard one time, but don't remember the amount of spiders you actually eat through the course of your life, that crawl into your mouth at night while your sleeping. Now think about that! Yallz will want to tape yer mouth shut now!

they do have fur on em ya know, if you get your face down there real close you can see it.they aren't prime this time of year , and are a bugger to skin

this is why you split wood while it is below 40.

Glad I wear a C-PAP mask when I sleep!!

Did you make it through the night???

I don't mind midnight snacking on a few tiny ones occasionally but I sure hope I don't wake up if any of those woolly arsed wolf spiders or whatever they are decide to venture down.

I thought the same thing. we had them at a house we owned and those suckers scare the crap out of me. I smashed or sprayed everyone I saw, and besides we didn't have any fish in the basement. !!!!
we have moved from that spider infested place.

Looks like Apple tree.
Decent size, I would saw that up for lumber, makes beautiful lumber for smaller projects.

The spider, meh, not scared of spiders but the initial surprise of having something run across my hand would cause a schoolgirl scream from me.
Not too proud to admit the truth.

Yup, I considered that but at this point, I need firewood more than lumber. There are a few more that my friend will probably want chopped down. Maybe then.

Yup, I only wet the bed twice. I've found that sucking my thumb helps though.

So funny...I came to the farm this morning and when I grabbed the grain bucket to feed the donkeys there was a wolf spider on top of the leftover grain. He passed quickly with a 24 ounce Vaughan framing hammer as it was the closest thing at hand.

I hate spiders but respect their place in the world. This afternoon I saw a 3 foot long snake next to the garden and didn't kill it so I guess I'm good karma wise.

Yup, snakes don't bother me at all unless they are poisonous.

That spider probably tea bagged you...

I mean made you a cup of tea in the night

Oh, Finster! Yikes! Zim had a similar thing happen to him in the bottom of a load of cut wood. He came running into the house to grab a gun! I stopped him before he blew a hole in the trailer, got a can of Raid and did battle with the thing. After I finally won, I set the empty can on a stump and spread out the soaked spider as my trophy next to the Raid can.

They're a big weakness for me, but even bigger for Zim. He takes care of most things, but I get the spiders.

That's one wicked looking spider, Finster!

hey sally,might rain tonight-better go wipe the spider guts off your purse and bring it in.

heard aspirin and an onion if one bites you.

that wasn't youre thumb.
