We keep getting these little guys and gals coming inside. I don't
know what particular species this one is, but it is some kind of wolf
spider. I can't tell if it's a Lycosidae or a Venatrix (and if that
sounds like some vampire clan, it's not my fault).
More information on wolf spiders can be found at the following sites:

Most of you know me as the C.M. Simpson that writes - well, some of you know me as the C.M. Simpson that writes - and some of you have never heard of me at all.For those of you who don't care about my writing, but do like seeing what I'm doing with pictures, this blog will feature photographs of birds, insects, arachnids, flowers, as well as locations I find myself visiting and book covers I design. Oh, and there will be art - of a kind.
