I blame an Allied moving van giving them a ride of ours from NC to CA.

- rjmill 5y agoGood lord, the Wikipedia picture makes them look much scarier than they are in person. Never had any problems with seeing them up close, but man that picture gives me the heebie-jeebies. For those unfamiliar with wolf spiders, on my size-of-paper-I-would-pick-one-up-with scale of spider scariness, wolf spiders rank somewhere between "playing card" and "business card." (For reference, Joros are somewhere around "birthday card.") That Wikipedia picture weighs in at an impressive "flattened cereal box (family size)"
