Spider one-upmanship

[supertinks]

ok, so Caro posted pics of a spider she saw in her garden. mistakenly labeled as a Wolfie.

I can quite categorically state that the spider I have taken pictures of this evening is most definately a Wolf Spider. There are photos and a couple of videos on www.dropshots.com/supertinks. Since Caro's warnings did not seem to work the first time around, I will reiterate:

If you do not like spiders, please do not click on the link to see the pictures. This particular spider is a very old Wolf Spider, and is therefore massive and scary. I take no responsibility for anyone who complains about how scared they are upon seeing the pictures, you know what they are.

Bleurgh! Yeah, that's definitely a wolfie. I don't like spiders, but I'm not squeemish about seeing images of them on the screen.

Oh! THOSE are wolf spiders! Jolly good. I daftly assumed that a garden spider was a Wolfie because they’re, er, FAR scarier-looking to me :-). I’ve had a Wolf spider in my bathroom for the past week or so – he* left a shed skin for me this morning which gave me a terrible fright as at first I thought he’d died! I rescue him from the bath most days, and make sure the cats don't eat him. He’s called Kevin, for no reason (actually no reason – no bearing on my ex, he just looked like a Kevin).
