Yesterday we mentioned that we found a big wolf spider cleaning out the tents. Today I thought I would post the photos. We used Cenzo for scale. These spiders do have a venomous bite, but in ten years down here I have never met anyone who has been bitten by one.
Ah yes, the wolf spider... I remember hearing the click click clickity click of its clawed feet at night on the walls and rafters of the house on the hill that your dad and I lived in at Copan. They are big and scary looking, but mostly they just left us alone as long as we left them alone. That, and we slept on hammocks so they didn't climb into bed with us!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty big one!
