More Friendly Photos of our 8 Eyed Friend

I think you're right, Melinda. It looks like a wolf spider. This guy surprised me by how lackadaisical he was. He just sat there and barely moved. Perhaps he enjoyed being photographed. Even with some poking and prodding he only moved as much as necessary. I was going to 'dispose of him' after taking some pictures because for some reason Katrina didn't like the idea of him hanging around our house. Then our neighbor Scott came and saw and felt that wolfbutt should be released in the brush outside the neighborhood so he took care of that. I couldn't help but shoot some pictures, though. He was a very cooperative subject. Much like toddlers and houseflies. Or not. So here he is in all his mega-fang eight-eyed glory. So long wolfbutt!
