Posted: Tue Mar 23, 2010 4:46 pmThe web that spider was on was about 10' wide by about 4' tall between two trees.
And those spiders are pretty harmless.

Posted: Wed Mar 24, 2010 9:03 pmBeautiful spider elbow. Golden Silk orb weaver. They weave a fantastic web that catches the light differently than most large orb web spiders. They are totally harmelss without that web Riff. You would never find one indoors.
These on the other hand roam without boundaries
Dolomedes Scriptus, more commonly known as a fishing spider. He can walk on the water and eat small fish/frogs! This one's name is Spider Brown. I rescued him last winter before the ground froze. He was very far from soft soil, and extremely sluggish/skinny. I brought him in the house and fed him all winter long. He at as many crickets as a medium size lizard, and even molted twice. I miss him...

Nice spider Tooly....I guess......
Speaking of wold spiders...... Years ago when camping in the woods I woke up one morning and put my boots on without knocking them out first.......WILL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN. I kept feeling something tickling my toes in one of my boots......I finally took it off and knocked it out and a HUGE F'ing wolf spider fell out......I was NOT pleased.....I SURE learned a lesson though....LOL

Brown/black and hairy describes 90 percent of spider species guys. They all look like wolf spiders! The easiest way spot the difference between the two without a microscope is in color pattern, the size/thickness of the limbs and abdomen, and alot of identification is in posture and behavior. You can get relatively accurate telling lycosa from dolomedes from a glance, but they are closely related unless you are out looking for them the difference between large wolf spiders and fishing spiders is relatively insignificant... Once they come indoors they are all house spiders anyway
I like the little dudes, which is why I was thrilled to play host to a textbook perfect example of dolomedes tenebrosus, the largest fishing spider of it's genus. I said scriptus, but that was a lie. Riff, you put on your shoe, and you didn't get bit right? There was enough room in there he wasn't getting squished, because actually being squished is what it takes for most spiders to bite. They need venom to eat, so wasting it is a last ditch. I have caught alot of big spiders in my hands. I don't recommend it, but I've lost enough big boys running to get a container that it has effected my brain. Have I been bitten? I think that goes without saying... is it consistent with the number of times I could have been, not even close. Which is why spiders are cool with me, but not bees. Fuck bees! All types and sizes. I hate them, and I want them to die...

FYI, crickets are the best. They taste kinda like teriyaki chicken. Just crunchier.

Posted: Mon Mar 29, 2010 4:41 pmCooked is the key word. I've seen some african villagers on TV collecting anual massive swarms of knats, and mushing millions of the little buggers into patties for burgers. Bug burgers. Damn, it looks really disgusting, but I bet they aren't half bad. Those people were wolfing them down!
My grandfather was a native american, and he would bring home "disgusting" cultural dishes for his children to eat. Really force that appreciation for diversity into his kids... it worked. Ants, crickets, grasshoppers, and all kinds of wierd junk. The torture was revisited on us kids. Oddly enough, I'd say octopus was the worst thing I was ever forced to eat as a kid. As far as spiders are concerned survival experts are all of the same opinion, do not eat a damn spider. Taratula's though are different. Just gotta be prepared right I hear, but I'll never know. I saw bear grylls eat that cave spider on his show... WTF, I have never been that hungry.
