Heh, don't say that..

E, LoR · 04-30-2007, 04:14 PM

lol nerdanel - want to see my spider pic

this guy showed up at my house one night

he was on the door frame and my sister wouldn't go inside!

Grey_Wolf · 05-01-2007, 03:12 AM

Hehe, your poor sister.

Nerdanel · 05-01-2007, 04:29 AM

Now that's a cool spider.

How big was it? Any idea what species/genus?

E, LoR · 05-01-2007, 08:13 PM

lol yes, my sister is quite afraid of spiders

It's called a wolf spider... it was huge! We've got clapboards on our house and they're about hmm... four inches wide? so I'm guessing perhaps 5 inches? We tried to hold a ruler up to it... but we were afraid it would jump away

If you'll notice, it's actually eating a june bug, and those things are atleast and inch long... if that gives you some perspective

Sounds like a solpugid...

Wow, those are great pics, everyone! Apparently in my short absence, I have missed an awful lot.

Its a very nice pic!

My Mum is terrified of spiders too. I usually have to take care of the ones creeping up the walls.

Ah, that makes sense now.

I was a bit confused with the bug there, almost though it was a part of the spider..XD

Nerdanel · 05-02-2007, 05:28 PM

Here is another wolf spider I found while collecting ants..

The sunsets.. I've missed them.

Jag hade en gång en båt..

Don't be so sure... a lot of the great churches in Russia were used as storehouses and sabotaged during the time of the communists. My own church on Nevsky Prospekt burnt twice during their regime, and was used to store bicycles.

These are some views from inside the church on spilt blood in Saint Petersburg. (edit: for those who don't know, it's an orthodox church)

Technically, it's a museum that used to be a church.

E, LoR · 05-04-2007, 10:50 PM

when i was younger (maybe 6?) a wolf spider ran across my face while I was sleeping... it woke me up.

Grey_Wolf · 05-06-2007, 05:10 AM
