Artist's Comments

Found this mature male wolf spider frantically trying to find a girl in broad daylight. He lost a leg but otherwise seemed to be unharmed. I shot some pics then released him in the compost heap to resume his futile wanderings.

I was sticking my finger in there to try to get him to turn around and not once did he gesture or strike. I think wolf spiders (and spiders in general) really get a bad reputation because of people's ignorance. I also love the open valve where his leg was. I've never gotten that close a look before. I knew they worked on hydraulics, but fascinating.

Aww I know what you mean! They are truly given a bad reputation. Its like so many other creatures. One that comes to mind is sharks. Oh they bit someone swimming in THEIR home! Imagine that :roll: Humans always think they are the most important species :no: The valve area was indeed interesting! Cant help but think of the mechanical spider on that goofy western movie that Will Smith was in- "Wild Wild West" :giggle:
