Ok, number 1
Thank you for all your encouraging words ~ I have never been so tired in all my life, and Im still not done with the trim, the packing, the cleanup - yet. And we are out of here on Sunday, heading towards Montana, and the Black Hills. So when I see posts from strong women offering a glimpse of what the future holds, or telling me to keep the faith, keep truckin' on feral woman, it means so much to this little wild girl, the one thats inside of me that is part weary, part excited...and part scared...
which leads me to ~

when mr. unknown spider leaped out of the container too fast when set free...

Looks like it is perhaps a wolf spider. They have several rows of eyes and can be quite large. I'd probably take that spider over a black widow... In our area we have upwards of 1000 spiders per acre with some 400 species represented. I have nice little spider traps I put around inside the house...
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wolf spider to me too, but I've never seen one from the belly side. Aren't they the ones that jump and seem pretty aggressive, but not harmful to humans?
ReplyDeleteJust catching up...your post about the drugs in the forest...wow! I wouldn't want to be hiking and come across those fellows. Glad they caught them.
Wolf spider gets my hubby's vote too..it would be a dead spider if I had any thing to do with it...
ReplyDeleteNo idea, but I'm suddenly feeling quite ill!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for MT road adventure stories!
All of a sudden snakes look like a good thing. I thought those monsters only lived in the south. Icky.
ReplyDeleteIs this your forever, permanent move, or just a scouting road trip?
ReplyDeleteWe be home forever Q & Q!
ReplyDeleteThe majority agrees ~ a wolf spider...he does look wolfish (or is it a she?!)lol I have seen A LOT of barn spiders in my day, but this by far was the largest spider I had ever seen - I was wondering if they had tarantulas in MT!!!
