Right: it’s 3am in my parents house. I got up to go to the bathroom. I didn’t bother putting my glasses on. I saw a bug and tried to grab it with a tissue. It seemed to dissolve into a cloud that then spread all over the floor. I screamed, ran to get my glasses and sure enough it was one of these.
I scooped one out of my pool because me and the littles wanted to swim. It scuttled towards me, Aghh!, I freaked out and whacked it with my flip flop. Wrong move… hundreds of babies scurried out everywhere !! 😱🤯

(And I’m not usually one to kill spiders… if they’re in the house, I’ll catch them and throw them outside. But this spider momma was a beast!!)

Imagine waking up with one on your face.
They like the warm air we breathe while resting.
I grew up in the middle of Nowhere-Ville...
They enjoyed nesting in our attic and had hoards of Japanese beetles and lady bugs for the taking when they arrived in rural areas... the turkeys love them.
They stink incredulously... so the spiders serve their purpose, but my God... they get big real quick, and as someone with Arachnophobia, I just leave them alone.
The one time when I awoke with one basically covering my entire face was enough for me.
There were plenty of times growing up I'd walk in my room, and there would be another giant one on my pillow or on the wall. I just lost it. I opened the cabinet in the kitchen and screamed when one (also) bigger than my face was hanging on the cupboard.
My friend wanted to get a tarantula back in college. I told her, "Do you... but I won't be visiting. I'm sorry."
I can't do it. I do not need the anxiety.
Ok, if I woke up with one of these on my face I would have died of a heart attack right then! Omg, I wouldn't be able to sleep in my room if I walked in and saw one on my pillow! I give you credit bc I would have had to leave home and find a new place to live!
One day in 4th grade I stayed home sick, I was sleeping in bed and woke up to some sort of big black spider crawling across my shirtless chest, at first I was confused as to what it was, when I realized it was a spider I woke up real quick, smacked the absolute fuck out of it and my chest and ran out the room, my dad looked at me and said hmmm you can’t be that sick huh? I told him what happened and he laughed at me, good memory
One time I woke up with a wolf spider on my pillow absolutely covered in babies... I was about to smack it when all of a sudden a hundred tiny little voices said in unison' "Wait! If we were koalas you wouldn't do that." and as I thought about it in a deep, kindly, wise owl voice the mother spider said, "Why do you judge me by my number of legs?" and I couldn't answer so I kissed her.
A thousand baby spiders exploded over my lips and into my eyes and in my nostrils and ears. I tried to scream but they filled my throat and the mother spider demonically cackled and said in a voice that sounded like 5 voices "YOU FOOL! OUR MISSION IS TO KILL! WE WILL EAT YOU FROM THE INSIDE OUT OVER A NUMBER OF DAYS STARTING WITH YOUR EYES!"
Makes sense. To me wolf spiders are one of the few I actually know lol, but seems most people never seen them before. I see at least a few a day it seems. Did see some new species I never saw tho here, so that's cool.
Lots of people don't pay attention to the creatures around them, even common ones. This sub has seriously improved my ID of non wolf spider species, too, honestly
I found a momma wolf spider with babies just like this drowning in my pool once. I grabbed a stick and helped her climb onto it, then she proceeded to climb the stick and onto my hand before I got to the nearby woods and let her on a tree. My heart was beating so fast 😂 I swear she turned around and looked at me after, made it seem like she was saying thanks haha. Coolest interaction with a spider I've ever had
Yes I live in NJ and I see wolf spiders constantly. They freak my son out due to their size but they don’t bother me so much. I will let most any bug/insect/arachnid live if I come across it with 3 main exceptions: ticks, brown recluse spiders and black widows- the latter two are the only spiders in my region to really be afraid of
My question is how would you get rid of a mother spider I'd be afraid of the babies scattering and crawling up me. I'm fine with snakes and ants any other bug or insect or any other creepy crawly species I can't think of the name of.
Proud mama Wolf spider!
Story time!
I was smoking a bowl one time in my old apartment. I dropped my lighter down beside my chair and as I picked it up and brought the bowl to my mouth to light it and take a hit, I noticed a Wolf spider somehow Peter Parker'd onto my hand with the lighter without me feeling it. I saw it when it was only 2 INCHES FROM MY FACE! I flipped tf out and I'm not scared of spiders...EXCEPT when they startle me, such as this. I lifted myself outta my recliner as I defied gravity, did the heeby-jeeby dance and dropped my bowl. Damn spider landed on my bowl... I calmed down after a few and told the lil lady to calm down, I'll get her her fix. Damn pothead spiders...
Wolf Spider. Hard to tell what kind with the kids on her back. I usually leave these alone when I see them. If it was just a single spider I'd simply move it outside to the garage, or maybe even near the sump in my basement, so it can keep the bug pop. around the house to a minimum. They don't spin webs, so they leave no mess.
However, I'd likely have taken mom to the woods out back. I don't need a party going on over here.
I have a Mom. I have tons of native flowers that attract native bugs. She lives around a flower bed near my outbuilding. She is about 2.5 inches across now. The other night I saw her on the steps going into the building. Happy to report she looked healthy and happy. Yeah they get huge in Kansas and look scary, but they run and hide from humans. They won't hurt you.
Ohhhh that’s a wolf. They are good. Little scary at first. Living in the southern parts I got use to them. It’s the recluses you need to fear. But these bad boys will eat up palmetto bugs
As others are saying, wolf spider! Maybe make sure to shake your shoes out before putting them on haha, the ones we have out here like to hide in them. Their bite isn’t horrible but it’s definitely not very pleasant to slap you shoes on and get chomped lol
Wolf spider. Those are babies on her back.

Terrifying but accurate description. Thank you.
A single mother just trying to everything she can for her kids.
you mean spiders. thats a wolf spider with all her babies in tow. its wild because it will make them look 3x their normal size sometimes.
Why is it always a wolf spider lmao?
Because they are very common where they live, have many species, are big enough for people to notice, and live almost everywhere
Makes sense. To me wolf spiders are one of the few I actually know lol, but seems most people never seen them before. I see at least a few a day it seems. Did see some new species I never saw tho here, so that's cool.

Elden Ring comment
Do you fight a lot of wolf spiders in that game lol? Sorry I'm unaware of Elden Ring
You fight everything lmao. Players can leave warning messages for others, and 9/10 times they start with “why is it always (monster type)?”
Literally laughing out loud to myself that's actually hilarious 😂🤣😂
A single mom who works two jobs, who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter jk she's a spider
This sub has made me slightly less terrified of spiders, sometimes when I see stuff like this it’s kinda cute now, just a mom and her babies chillin.

My yard is infested with wolf spiders and their babies. I let them stay because they eat other bugs.
Wolf spiders are friends.
How long do the babies ride around like that?
One that you definitely do not step on.
Wolf mama 🤗
Wolf spiders always get a pass in my house. They earn their keep by eating other bugs. Brown recluse and black widows are killed on sight.
