Wolf spider from last week.

I just realized I'm behind in my pictures (not my Muddy River pictures) and I'm about to go on vacation. Skimming through, there's nothing too crucial, though I did want to share this spider. Alexis found her along the path at Cutler Park, and exclaimed, since spiders this size are few and far between in New England. This wolf spider is very robust and has about a two inch legspan. She's easily as big as the little tarantulas I saw in Antigua.

Cute! I like the arrangement of the eyes.

I wish I'd taken a picture of the one with all the babies on her back. Instead of screaming and... putting her in a cup and releasing her outside. It was so bizarre, none of us could figure out what was wrong with her, until we realized they were baby eyes looking back at us!

That is one huge scary thing.
