    This young Wolf spider(?) was found on the living room floor after my daughter Molly found it crawling on her.
    She of course over reacted and ordered the poor thing killed.
    I on the other hand felt like protecting it. I won out as this young spider was taken to the basement to live out its life.
    I love these guys.

    Elllchhhkkk!!! Sorry Steve...tell Molly I'm with her. I would spend the rest of my days lying in bed in the house thinking it came back up from the basement and was in bed with me...or worse....that it made baby wolf spiders....oh...I think it's crawling on me now!

    Got those here too. Well, maybe not that exact species, but definitely wolf spiders. The problem is the dang things are rather large (leg span about the size of a half dollar) and aggressive. This time of year they just don't stay in their webs. They like to wander around the house and bite. If you corner one they rear up and fight back. Unfortunately its very difficult for me to capture one alive without it escaping in the process so I have to kill them quickly before they get away.

    The occasional small scorpion or camel "spider" in the bathroom doesn't bother me. They're slow and I can easily catch and release outside, but those wolf spiders are too darn fast. Gotta squish 'em when I have the chance.

    Well, I went out herping for rattlers but the wind picked up too much and it got rather chilly so no luck there. But, I went back to the spot where I found that chrysalis and very carefully removed it from the wood it was attached to. Brought it in the house and keeping it warm. Put it in a large clear plastic container with a lid. I just want to see what comes out. It sure looks like a swallowtail butterfly chrysalis. I hope so. That would be awesome.

    Here's my chrysalis again:



    And this one from the internet is I.D.'d as a swallowtail Butterfly:



    And once again, video of a tiger swallowtail I filmed last summer:
