    Excellent captures Brian!

    I've only shot one wolf spider and I was stunned that they had so much hair -like fur! According to a program that I was watching on Animal Planet spiders, for all those eyes, don't really see very well. But they can sense changes in air pressure with their hair and detect movement...

    Thanks Tlee,Vi, John and skippy :)
    I'm still waiting for the wolf spiders to start their mating antics- they are really funny with all the arm waving semaphore they use .
