Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Wolves don't purr, but wolf spiders sure do! To attract a female, a male will rub their pedipalps (small appendages around the mouth) together to produce vibrations. These vibrations travel through the dried leaves the male stands on, and producess a low purring sound! Check out the sound below:

"I am small"
But bigger than the average wolf spider even still! Hand for scale so y'all can get a better idea of the size!

a new development at the pond bog has been this small wolf spider, living in a 'cave' of rocks which we originally constructed for tree frogs.
Tumblr media
we saw them at the entrance for about a week, but due to the bog's propensity to flood after a rain, it seems they have now left in search of a drier home.

Female wolf spider, I believe genus Pardosa (the “thin-legged wolf spiders”)
Wolf spiders have a reputation for being huge, so for context most of the Pardosa spp. I run into around here are NOT a very intimidating size (though I suppose opinions may vary re: what qualifies as a “big” spider lol). Here’s a non-macro reference:

Spiders found on the walls of buildings, even away from the rising water. Best to stay safe everywhere and climb up every building I guess.

Wolf Spiders
Some cranberry farms use wolf spiders as a form of pest control, a very effective one at that, but when they flood the fields so the cranberries float the wolf spiders will run to the tallest thing around. In most cases that tall thing is a person in the cranberry bog.

Ok so I live in Lubbock, Texas where things are VERY flat and we're talking about how useless spider-man would be here and it made me wonder
Why is spiderman always a web slinging spider?
Tumblr media
Imagine one based on trapdoor spiders
Or even
Tumblr media
Imagine one based on wolf spiders and he's just like, covered in baby spiders and can use them like nanobots to do his bidding. Or maybe this would be a spider-gwen variant since it's the lady wolf spiders that do that. Either way, still cool

gotta feel bad for all those spiders thinking they're gonna get laid after smelling the horny pheromones and showing up just to realize, there's no spiders there for them. Just some crappy lotion
Like where's the spiders?
Where's the hot singles in their area???
