  1. A very cool wolf spider, just quietly moving around on moss. Allowed enough time for a decent picture (with an android phone)
    Set on a typical gneiss'ish rock infused with hard white quartz crystals.

  2. #Spider warning for today's #Weretober - a werewolf! ...spider!

    I'm pretty sure she looks more curious than hungry at the moment, but it's kinda hard to tell, so watch yourself.

  3. The burnt #wolfspider, #Xerolycosa #nemoralis (#Lycosidae, #Araneae), is a #species of #spider native to Eurasia that prefers dry #habitats, hunts prey actively and rests in a self-dug burrow. The authors A. Bednarek et al. (2016) studied the spider's response to thermal #stress in form of an increased #Hsp70 (protein/ enzyme complex) synthesis in by humans polluted environments. #Biodiversity

  5. Found on the wall of the house.

    Started cleaning its legs when I took the photo and then it run away.

    The body was nearly 2cm long.

  6. CW: Photos of a spider and a beetle

    For today, two close-up photos of arthropods: a wolf spider (probably Alopecosa albofasciata) showing off its fur and all its eyes, and a very round, black beetle (maybe Pimelia graeca) with golden rings between its segments.

  7. CW: Wolf Spider

    Pardosa californica (?), a thin-legged wolf spider. I've seen this spider twice, a week apart.

    I don't know the age of the egg sac, but I hope to see her carrying many spiderlings soon.
