Every once in a while, you get the opportunity in life to see something that others will never see. Tonight my wife calls on my way home from work.
“There’s a huge spider on the porch! It’s as big as a tarantula!”
Of course she was exaggerating…. so I thought. I told her to save it in a bottle. When I got home, I found a freaked out mother and kids that were a little anxious…. and a big old massive wolf spider (we think).
So after Emily left to go to a volleyball game, I broke out the spider to get some picture. Check it out! Click the pix for the full size. They are fun!
