I'm a fan of spiders myself (even the dreaded funnel-web - I definitely give those plenty of space!). It must've been cool to see mama spider with her babies. Wow!

I am not generally afraid of spiders (although I do give them their space), but when I see one of those huge black bodies, I go running to get my husband and make him squish it with a hammer before I'll go anywhere near where I spotted it. I'm such a big baby about widows! Wolf spiders are neat – what really scares me are the black widows that live around here.

I really, really do. And all God's creatures, big and small. I really, really do. But, when I leave my house for the great outdoors I want to observe things peacefully, not have them give me cardiac arrest. Look, I love Nature. I really, really do.

We had wolf spiders in our basement when I was a child, and I would be down there sweeping or doing laundry and all of a sudden there would be one next to me. Scared me to DEATH! They also have a really odd smell about them. After I while I could smell them before I saw them. Those spiders soooo freak me out.

I hadn't thought of spiders. Great photos and interesting post. We’re trying to introduce beneficial insects into our garden and we’ve stopped using pesticides. I hadn’t thought of spiders.

I am terrified of spiders and never really saw one up close before your photos. I have to admit they are interesting at a distance. I would have so freaked out!
