Nice! I can't wait for the weather to warm up!!

O and.... they still creep me out lol but once the colony gets up and running I'd gladly send a few your way.

True Spider update.

So I caught about 15 of the Wolf Spider babies as they were crawling all around the bug room.


Gladicosa pulchra


Unknown.


How do you feed these little guys?
They better love me for this.
So I placed cloth of the end of a straw.


Poke a hole in top of the fruit fly cup


Suck them up in the straw 2-3 at a time as they crawl out. Slide the coin over the hole. Blow the flies into the vial.

Best way I have found so far. Fruit flies are a pain in the @ss

That's all for now.

This reminded me of the story of ozzy snorting ants lmao

Wow the webbing in there is amazing! After I get the first and comfortable I'm sure ill want an Obt ha I already do

[3skulls]

They are really cool. I'm glad I picked them up.
I uploaded a video of one that burrows instead of webbing. I can't get it to load.

Excuse the hipstergram. My iphone takes better pictures than my little point and shoot most of the time, and I have too much fun with the instant filters

G pulchripes:


G pulchra



New C fasciatum (she is more gorgeous in person than I was expecting - she just molted a few days before she came to me)!


New P irminia, who fortunately, cut me some slack with her rehousing


Any idea of this species? Found it repotting some plants I bought today, that were mostly sitting outside in Olympia WA. Kind looks like the little wolf spiders we had in NE, but not as dark. I'm guessing he's probably local, anyway For size reference, he is on the side of a pill bottle, and the hole is between 1-2mm.
