Yikes

This is what Esther saw and what Daron caught while I was out last night. They called it the walrus spider.

When Daron sent me a picture, I wondered what it really was. Cause it is pretty creepy looking.

Turns out it's a wolf spider. Yeah, venomous! It's not aggressive and the bite probably wouldn't kill you but you'd still want to seek medical attention.

Fortunately, Daron threw it over the back fence rather than in the flowers out front. Hopefully he's found himself a new place.

Shiver....

We have these too and they creep me out! The first time I saw one it looked like a taranchula but found out it was a wolf spider. It looked like one because it was carrying her babies on her back. We didn't realize until Danny threw it in the toilet and all the babies came off! So creepy!
