I've seen them in Arizona. Not very pretty. At least they're not as bad as the one spider, where the venom causes your flesh to swell and burst in a matter of a couple days. starts as a little tiny bite on the back of your hand, and the next thing you know it's swelling, the skin is cracking and bleeding, flesh starts to get infected and you have to get it amputated.
Now that's a nasty spider. Which isn't the wolf spider.

That is totally and utterly disgusting, I bloody hate spiders. We should eradicate them, being the dominant species and all.

The biggest wolf spider I've seen to date had an abdomen alone that was the sise of a quarter, give or take. I could see all five of its beady little eyes staring at me. eek Yeah, that one involved a lot of screaming.

The wolf spider as can be seen in photos here and some neat info. I have no idea about the spider jer's talking about, but these are pretty neat, too. They've got necks! And they feed on other spiders!!

I usually don't intentionally kill any insencts....don't know why. I'm not a monk or anything either.
Once, I was playing xbox late at night, and the light was turned off in my room. My cat was sitting on the window sill, checking out the moon, when all of a sudden he jumped down and started sniffing at my shorts!
At first I was, "you dumb cat, I'm not even of your species!" then I felt something inside one of my shorts-legs. I picked it up, and it felt kinda funny, kinda hard, but it was small. I thought maybe it was a lose, floating bunched up ball of string that my cat liked or something. I turned on the light, and BAM! it was this spider, wriggling and everything! I HAD A SPIDER CRAWLING INTO MY SHORTS!!! My cat saved me from scandal!
In one of my more cruel moments, I gave the spider to my cat, and my cat promptly ate it. He didn't eat it whole, though. Like, he tore off a couple of the legs, and then jabbed at it with his nose and paws, then ate the body. He had some of the legs sticking out of his mouth neutral

I can't remember the last time I saw a spider in my room, I'm very thankful for that.
I nearly clicked those links out of pure curiosity as I do with all links, then I realised what I was doing and remembered the coronary I would have if I did. I'm actually having to restrain myself from looking out of pure morbid curiosity though.

O_O Yeah, those are nasty spiders. Eww.
