[personal profile] holyschist inspired me to go out and take some macro shots this afternoon.

So, here's a wolf spider for you all.

It's sad that I'll be 4EVER ALONE about spiders, they really are lovely. I'm allergic to some of the smaller ones. I get bit once in a while because they end up in the bed or under the desk and I piss them off or something. I used to get bit working at camp, too. The bites are pretty distinctive. I don't have anaphylaxis but I get hot goose egg swellings that then swell up again if I get bit by another spider any time in the next few months. It's surreal.

Maybe I'll put four extra legs on my dog. Yeah. :)

I think that is a pretty big strike against Old World tarantulas. :-(
