You'd be suprised how many there really is on her back.. LOL!!! Where did ya find her..she looks good size.. Every now and then we have them go across the property and we will see them with the babies.. Kids tried to keep one few yrs back and when they went to put it in a container all the babies disspersed and they was everywhere.... ;D

Re:Spider Id help

We have two main types of spiders up here in quanity. This one (wolf) and some other kind that is bigger, twice this size I keep seeing them in the lawn carring big egg sacks while I am mowing. Not a big fan of either of these spiders. This one is abit bigger then a quarter, those other ones are bigger then a half dollar. The biggest ones we have up here are the woodland spiders, and those will rival T's are far as with across. And they are fast. Find them by water in boat houses alot...
