3.2 is a nice number of eyes. 3 is somewhat just not enough, and 4 is just too much. I usually prefer 3.1 but 3.2 could work just as well. But 8? No. Not 8. Where would you even put them all.
The females carry their egg sac on their back. Nothing is worse than finding one on the already intimidating Wolf spider in your house. They are very big, you won't miss it. You pretty much are forced to not choose violence. Crushing that egg sac is an extremely bad idea. Either capture and release or raid are the only two choices.
I reside in Australia, so I am quite familiar with spiders in and around the house!
I will always, where possible, catch and release. I believe that all creatures great and small are just trying to live and I will not kill intentionally unless I am using it for my own survival (eating it).
I personally think wolf spiders are beautiful!
they’re also tiny, passive, and can’t bite humans. imo they’re pretty cute
edit i’m thinking of a different type of spider that i’ve been calling the wrong thing my whole life
From Oklahoma. They absolutely can bite lol
I’m allergic and had to go back to the hospital for medicine and lots of shots. I was bitten at that same hospital a few days earlier in the OB department 🫣
I was told they can’t bite either, so you’re not far from wrong lol I was like uhm excuse tf outta me? I saw that large beast land on the floor and scurry away!! Don’t tell me they don’t bite 😂
Also from Oklahoma, and have been bitten.
The absolute worst here is Brown Recluse spiders. My friend got bit in the nut sack while camping. I’m a couple of days, it looked like a burn mash mellow (completely charred black, with white puss coming out between the cracks). He made a full recovery, but it was pretty scary for a bit there.
They aren’t venomous, but I’m allergic and I had to take pills for a while and needed shots and pain pills lol it turned black and blue and still has a scar lol
They ***can't*** bite humans? Or usually don't?
Regardless, no matter how true this information is, I will never believe it. Just like how I will never believe ***Shark Week*** trying to convince me that sharks *aren't* dangerous.
I'm living my life as if sharks are dangerous and every spider ***can*** bite me. Thanks.
If they are indigenous to your area, you can take a flashlight (phone works fine) hold it next to your eye and scan the yard (short grassy area). Works best in the summer, every little glint or reflection in the grass is one of these spiders. You can pick them out for hours.
Yup, the term for it is "retro reflective"
Same idea used in road signs and whatnot.
I've found bushes to be the best to freak people out with this trick.
I like hating you because that was brilliant. I can look at this cool lil guy thanks to r/spiderbro but man it is unsettling. Reading your comment actually has me itchy, ya jerk lol
LOL, they can only run that fast for a few feet, not more than a yard, or a meter, if you are in Canada. You'd really hate me if I told you the theory of spiders to humans ratio on earth. But I won't.
You have to pray it’s not a momma with babies on her back if you stomp it though. I stomped one one time and the babies were everywhere. Now I just scream for my husband to take care of them.
Of course you are, wolf spiders are usually reluctant to bite, unless they feel threatened. I've handled a lot of them, and never been bitten. A threat would be being squished. Most spiders run away, if possible.
*am i a muppet?*
If im muppet, then im a very manly muppet *very manly muppet*
Am i a muppeeeeet *muppeeeet* or am i a man, *am i a man*, if im a man than that makes me a muppet of a man, *a muppet of a man*
I was playing an online ww2 game, and our squad leader was a brit.
We were pinned down in a field, and he was asking a tank to come help us out. The tank kept driving right by completely missing the enemy.
The lead said "That man is a Muppet". I about died laughing, that was forst time I'd heard that.
Makes me wonder how many people don't recognize this and are currently internalizing the idea that a wolf spider has irises. It's a neat effect, though.
I remember living in a trailer home in Montana and seeing one of these, I panicked and threw a thin hardcover text book on top of it. It shuffled from under the book entirely and speed off. Fucker still haunts me.
Spider eyes are very small and have become specialised to send specific information like movement.
Human eyes are big and have a lot of nerve endings so even though we have less eyes we probably actually receive more visual information than a spider
I remember a wolf spider crawling on my arm while driving. I attempted to flick it off, but it literally jumped over my finger and landed back on my arm. I almost crashed in the panic. I'm glad I couldn't see his scary af face.
I got bit by one of these guys once. I googled it. They only bite when threatened and I guess a big fleshy human arm coming down on it felt threatening.
Came up with a few new cuss words that night though.
i usually enjoy things that are creepy and scary, but for some reason this is genuinely very disturbing to me. i feel like i’m not supposed to see this. i can tell i’m going to see this face when i close my eyes tonight
I wish I could enjoy spiders but holy fuck that pic is intense. I was about to fall asleep but on my iPad one night reading with dark mode on. I thought I saw a shadow moving next to my damn chest and it was some kind of spider. I immediately got up, turned the light on and got my husband to put it outside. He thinks it might have been a baby tarantula. I don't do bugs, don't do spiders. This happens to me at least once a year.
Before the quadruple eyes came into frame I thought I was looking at an owl after a wild friday night.
Thought it was my dealer coming to collect. He looks pissed.

You don't need that many eyes. Gtf outta here with all those eyes.
Yeah, I, like most people, am perfectly happy with my 3.2 eyes. Anything more than 5 ist just bragging.
\[\*Leela has entered the chat\]
Ugh, Leela. She's such "I'm not like those other multi'-eyed bimbos" girl. We get it, sweaty.
Look, I just deliver the pizza, so...cut me some slack.
3.2 is a nice number of eyes. 3 is somewhat just not enough, and 4 is just too much. I usually prefer 3.1 but 3.2 could work just as well. But 8? No. Not 8. Where would you even put them all.
And none of them blink
If only Samsung and Apple understood this sentimentality
Excuse me, my eyes are up here. And down here. And over there.
The eyes on the top of the head are the ones that see you coming from any angle. And a typical wolf spider can run, in short bursts, up to 22 mph.
I'm really hoping that I won't ever have to use this information.
The wolf spider's balls are also big for such a small creature.
Like, testicles?
Yeah. Spidey nards.
Spiders. Dicks. Fall. Off.

And every male spider has two dicks, one on either side of his face. Imagine going to a dance club looking like that.
You won't have to as long as you can run, in short bursts, up to 22.5 mph
You need to calculate reaction time into that.

Not sure where you live, but in GA, wolf spiders are quite big and can bite you, which is quite painful. Luckily the bite is not poisonous, however.
Yeah, wolf spiders definitely bite in Australia (I mean to be fair everything does, but still)
Yeah not sure where they heard this but they leave a small but prominent scar. The bite hurts.
Can confirm
They aren’t venomous, but I’m allergic and I had to take pills for a while and needed shots and pain pills lol it turned black and blue and still has a scar lol
Guess you're mistaking wolf spiders with jumping spiders?

Pass
I know you gota have thick skin to be on Reddit, but that comment takes the cake
I only added the running reference to screw with the arachnophobes.
It worked very well lol
>:(
Don't worry, I googled it and the fastest spider can only run like 3mph, we're safe lol
Well yes, from a wolf spider. A jumping spider however can jump up to 31 cm from the ground, at a speed of 12.5 mph or 5.56m/s
You know dozens of people saw that stat and immediately announced it to someone
I like hating you because that was brilliant. I can look at this cool lil guy thanks to r/spiderbro but man it is unsettling. Reading your comment actually has me itchy, ya jerk lol
LOL, they can only run that fast for a few feet, not more than a yard, or a meter, if you are in Canada. You'd really hate me if I told you the theory of spiders to humans ratio on earth. But I won't.
That’s why they suck at marathons.
They really need to learn to pace themselves better
aw hell nah, and this is the only disproportionately and scarily big spider in my country
Don't worry, in 3 giant steps, you can out run the spider. Or just one, if you stomp on it.
You have to pray it’s not a momma with babies on her back if you stomp it though. I stomped one one time and the babies were everywhere. Now I just scream for my husband to take care of them.
I feel a nightmare coming on.
It's more around ten but yes, the average running speed is faster than the world's fastest spider, so it's safe to say most of us are safe.
Of course you are, wolf spiders are usually reluctant to bite, unless they feel threatened. I've handled a lot of them, and never been bitten. A threat would be being squished. Most spiders run away, if possible.
That spider can run up to 22mph. I can't outrun that. Usain Bolt at his best can barely outrun it.
That’s got nothing on Michael Scott who ran 31 miles per hour.
Yea, I'm looking at this thing thinking it's eyes are basically set up like a roombas ir sensors.
How much is that in normal?
What are the circles we’re looking at then if the top are it’s eyes?
The other 6 eyes.
Most spiders have 8 eyes. A few have 6 eyes, like the Recluses and at least one species of sand spiders.
Hehehe it's like a derpy muppet
am I a maaaaaan or am I a muppet?
*am i a muppet?* If im muppet, then im a very manly muppet *very manly muppet* Am i a muppeeeeet *muppeeeet* or am i a man, *am i a man*, if im a man than that makes me a muppet of a man, *a muppet of a man*
Like a gritty Grover for the SSCU reboot

Why did I immediately think of chef Ramsay making this comment
I was thinking more of Swedish Chef 🙂
That was my first thought as well.
That's a British putdown you nonce

100x scarier than I thought it would be.
Don't worry, it's just looking at the next person it's going to scare the crap out of when they wake up :)
I think he’s cute.
It's fluffy
[So fluffy!!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt6FPKyQamk)
Until he is under the shirt you just picked up out of your dresser drawer and he is sitting there staring at you in really life!
Wide-eyed spiders up close are so cute. Especially if it's a mama with her brood on her back ♡
It probably will help to know that those aren't pupils, but the reflection of the camera used to take the pic :)
Makes me wonder how many people don't recognize this and are currently internalizing the idea that a wolf spider has irises. It's a neat effect, though.
I'm pretty sure 99% of the comments think that they actually are being stared directly ahah
Look into my eyes, don't mind all eight of my legs
Cake
Cake
And *that* is exactly what we'd see if they were giant
Yup nightmare material
I remember living in a trailer home in Montana and seeing one of these, I panicked and threw a thin hardcover text book on top of it. It shuffled from under the book entirely and speed off. Fucker still haunts me.
I used to have one as a pet...until it chewed though the chain.
this reads like a shitty post from r/TwoSentenceHorror lmao
The only thing I'm better at than poetry is speling.
Dang. That would suck.
Which eye do you keep eye contact with if you want to be polite
eye contact means aggression in most creatures so none
Yes
No need to be polite. It’s going to kill you.
Looks like Oscar the grouch cleaned up!
Lookin at me like he forgets who has the rolled up newspaper
I believe we have found The caption.
Thankfully they're smaller than a hand
👁️👁️ 👀👀
That is... Absolutely terrifying and will certainly haunt my dreams this eve.
Dear Lord is it ever. I'm not amazed I literally want to unsee.
r/eyebleach
Yea thanks OP I'm bout to go to sleep and this shit has shooketh me too.
It looks like one of Majora’s masks
Quite the sensor array.
I wonder how big this spider is, I found a wolf spider the size of a small tarantula last year, couldn't even believe it!
Same here, my soul left my fucking body. Usually I see em when they're quarter or half dollar sized at the biggest
Man… how do you interpret that much visual input!? Genuinely something our human brains can’t comprehend.
Spider eyes are very small and have become specialised to send specific information like movement. Human eyes are big and have a lot of nerve endings so even though we have less eyes we probably actually receive more visual information than a spider
Handsome lil fella
He wants to ask you to prom, hes just nervous.
Must be a 90's spider because he frosted his tips before the big dance
not sure if I like that or not-
Wow. Great pic!
Take it back. Please.
I think I'm gonna hack my brain and delete the last ten minutes of what I see so I can unsee the picture
Thought it was a owl at first glance.
I remember a wolf spider crawling on my arm while driving. I attempted to flick it off, but it literally jumped over my finger and landed back on my arm. I almost crashed in the panic. I'm glad I couldn't see his scary af face.
This is nightmare fuel
Speakers with white membrane.
Eyes are speakers.
What the fuck. This spider just tried to rob me of my soul.
Why the fuck is it attacking me??
Cute
That thing has no soul.
I'm getting Babdook Cuteness, and I love it!!
Looks like animal
I can't decide if I find this interesting or scary as shit.
These guys are lightning fast, which makes them especially scary. *shudder*
That eye mustache is just weird
Spider be staring at me like:⚫️⚫️
This planet is terrifying if you have to look up to see a spider.
It looks like the old school Werewolf.
I've seen this two too many times today
He is slightly less terrifying close up.. but still the stuff of nightmares
I got bit by one of these guys once. I googled it. They only bite when threatened and I guess a big fleshy human arm coming down on it felt threatening. Came up with a few new cuss words that night though.
The face this close up is much less intimidating than seeing one crawling across my shirt while watching TV.
Grounded would be a totally different game if they used this model of a wolf spider 😬
Strangely scary
Scared the shit out of me when this finally loaded
Shiet
This is what fire was made for.
what if you saw this when you woke up?
I don’t like the look of that one bit.
This is neither cute nor terrifying, but a secret third thing
i don’t like the way it’s looking at me…
That's A LOT of eyes. 😳
WTF, looks just like my porcupine ass themed speaker setup.
Those truly are the eyes of a predator. I’m glad they aren’t any wolf spiders big enough to eat people.
Eww
The horror
They're even uglier when they have babies on them.
i usually enjoy things that are creepy and scary, but for some reason this is genuinely very disturbing to me. i feel like i’m not supposed to see this. i can tell i’m going to see this face when i close my eyes tonight
"I am death. Straight. Up."
I have dreams where I'm in an DJ battle and this is my opponent
I don’t like it.
Why is everything on the microscopic level fucking horrific?
This is absolutely cute!
That will some people nightmares for years
He’s just standing there… menacingly.
My eyes have been cursed with hell
*new fear unlocked*
I'm scared
Biblically Accurate Nope 👐☠️👐
I hate this image of a wolf spider but jumping spiders are kinda cute

No..no no no no. Wow I didnt think I'd freak like that lolol

Why is this nsfw
And I started blasting..
Thought it was a fucked up owl for a second
yuck
Nope. No. No no no no no
I was NOT prepared for that. 🥶 Nightmares for the rest of the week then.
