A wolf spider spoted on some logs in the middle of the night near Lake Houghton in northern Michigan. The big guy was about 4in or 10cm across! This is a non-poisonous spider but I still would not want to get bit by those huge fangs! They are extremely fast as well, so I felt quite lucky to get a nice close up of this one.

Everyone always wondered why I'm such a wuss when it comes to bugs & spiders. THIS IS WHY!!!!! Although I must admit this is a awesome capture! Great job. ;)

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

I would not want to trifle with this guy, either...Good capture!

Excellent photo ... 4 inches you say ... Whew! ... dat's a biggy. The only way I'd try this shot is with a telescopic lens ... something in the order of the Hubble class.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
Lucky indeed. I remember seeing one of these when I was younger and it scared me so badly I had nightmares about it. Such a nice detailed photo you have here, Looks very good but forgive me if I do NOT use as a desktop LOL. Excellent photography on your part.

Excellent capture. I glad it was you and not me. He may not be poisonous, but he could still make me hurt myself!!! Well done!

More does not always equal better!
Shoot and run, eh Greg? The spotlight on him sets your photo off very nicely and the composition makes this a very balanced image. I'll be off now before he gets me! :) - Patty

It's all about perspective and perception.
If I see'em coming they're pretty facinating. If I casually turn around and it's in my face, somebody's going to get run over on my way out. That log gives it the perfect setting, and a great place to wait for unsuspecting hands. Very well shot.

I used to have arachnophobia (when I was 10) but I got over it and now I make sure to save every pic I see of them! Confront your fears! hehe, okay, so they're not real spiders, but still, it works..
Great close up here. I really like the focus you got on his eyes (thought I can't see how many he has hehe) and hair.
Well done!

Those are just my two cents...
I do NOT want to appear a know it all here....but these wolf spiders rarely bite...{ I don't think they even would bite a person}...? and they JUMP>>>>>>HIGH! and aim right for you! They also can curl up in teeny crumpled size balls....despite their mass....:)
I love your photo! Great work!

I am WAY behind THANKING, viewing and commenting! My apologies! I care very much for everyone and will catch up asap! Thanks for all the nice comments on my work!
I don't mean to scare anyone but they get bigger! This looks like a young adult female and females are much larger than males! She has more growing to do! Excellent shot by the way!

I think I hate wolf spiders more than any other! Hairy, big fangs, and huge! Nice capture!

All I can say is, thank God they don't fly!! I'm a huge anachrophobe, but that's a cool photograph, nonetheless!
