Love Bugs 8: Wolf Spider


Papa spent a very long time trying to identify this guy, finally settling on the Burrowing Wolf. They build burrows that have a trapdoor, and although generally friendly, a bite from a wolf spider is poisonous.

"From this story one learns that children, especially young lasses, pretty, courteous and well-bred, do very wrong to listen to strangers. And it is not an unheard thing if the Wolf is thereby provided with his dinner."
__ Charles Perrault, Little Red Riding Hood
