Office Spider
Know what kind of spider this is? It’s about 1.5 inches in diameter and was found today at the Armor Games Office in California! We’ll name it after you if you can ID it.
Otherwise we’re naming it Frank. Please help him/her/it.

That my friend is a wolf spider not deadly but extrmly painful.
I hate the crap outta spiders. They’re good as dead if I see ‘em. I recommend you get rid if it before it gets you!

If I’m right, you can call it Destor. I’m probably wrong though. Well, good luck with it.
If you really really want to know, look in the phone book for something that starts with “arachna” and you can get a professional’s opinion.
Tell me if I was right at my AG account,

Bring me Sting and I shall slay the beast.
Jacob is right. It’s a wolf spider.
Common Wolf Spider!
Yep that’s a Wolf, Jacob got it. Great pet you guys caught I can imagine it already: “Jacob the Common Wolf Spider”
Exotic tarantula
*Gasp* I knew that! You beat me too it Jacob! Grr. By the way, it’s not spidiolegy, it’s Arachnology. I know these things, I study them.
well, idk what kind of spider it is, but if u say its a wolf spider its a wolf spider
anyways, i have the same reaction with the first comment ^_^. I hate spiders in ways more than 1 
actually i hate almost all insects that bite T_T
Ugh, I’d be shocked to death if that one was walking across my desk.
It’s a Wolf Spider, I think.
My bigger brother has one at his house, looks like this and he says it’s a Wolf Spider.
My name is Jack =)

It’s a wolf spider and is completly harmless.

It is a huntsman spider….
wolf spider
that is a comen wolf spider
It’s a wolf spider and his name is Gredur.
He is my pet.
Umm, Destor, you are completely wrong. For one thing, this wolf spider is grey, the Sydney Funnel Web is black. It is also much bigger than the wolf spider, and it lives in Australia.
“Jacob the Common Wolf Spider” Kind of reminds you of Twilight, eh?
ITS A WOLF SPIDER AND MY NAME IS BOB

wolf spider i think?

I shall dub it “greasy smear”. Evocative, and descriptive to boot.
…wait, it’s still ambulatory? Well, that’s easily rectified.
that is a wolf spider on the carpet
I also believe that you should name it Austin Collie
GO BYU!!!
Supposing as that the spider is so big, and knowing that Wolf Spiders have big eyes to see very well, I must agree with the others.
But I have another idea: It may be a hunter spider, which are very similar to wolf spiders but generally get bigger. Wolf Spiders are those tiny things where three could fit on your little pinkie while hunters grow bigger. Not sure though…
mmm the wolf spider is dangerous if it is I recoment you before he harm someone
Definitely wolf spider - still cute if not painful
I get those guys around my house all the time. They’re hunting spiders, so they don’t build webs. Instead they just hide somewhere and wait to jump out at their prey. You might find them lying around a fold in a piece of clothing, and when they’re curled up you might mistake them for a tuft of hair or a clump of fabric.
Its a TURTLE!
That is Holly, of course - from Miami, FLA. You should have seen her _before_ she plucked her eyebrows and shaved her legs.
i think it’s either a wolf spider or a mutated jumping spider. it looks like the huge one from harry potter :/

Def. a Wolf Spider prob male.
Its a male and its a wolf spider, name it dunny!
A wolf spider has more than one pair of eyes. As far as I can see that spider only has 1 pair. So, it can’t be a wolf spider…
desert spider or a wolf spider?
