I've always called those big long legged spiders wolf spiders. I heard
that to catch their prey they run them down instead of building webs.
But anyway, I'm sorry, but I don't like them at all. They are too quick
for me and sometimes I feel they are more intelligent too. I know ha
ha. Anyway they can play dead when you are determined to kill them and
just when you think you did them in they get up and take off or they
come at you full boar. I have had a fear of spiders since childhood and
although I leave most spiders alone to do their thing, this is one
spider I can't handle. Even my two kittens aren't too keen on them. My
husband watched one walking down the hall with both cats following it at
a safe distance behind. Neither cat would attack which tells me they
have a healthy respect for this large spider too or else they've watched
me running in the opposite direction and have developed my sense of
fear. I'd like to know more about this spider. Does anyone have any
info?
