When I opened the store this morning, I glanced

5/14/08 – When I opened the store this morning, I glanced at the schedule taped to the window sill and got a small shock. This impressively large spider is a wolf spider. According to Wikipedia, wolf spiders live mostly solitary lives and hunt alone. Some are opportunistic wanderer hunters, pouncing upon prey as they find it or chasing it over short distances. Others lie in wait for passing prey, often from or near the mouth a burrow. It’s a good thing Cindy didn’t find it or we would have had to administer CPR to both Cindy and the spider. – Bill
