Once or twice a year a wolf spider will come in my shop with her babies. The neatest thing is if you gently touch her back every tiny spider will abandon ship and run off in all directions. If you stay still, so as not to step on any of them, within a couple of minutes every last one of them will return to the mothers back.
Spiders are mostly harmless and good to keep down other insect populations. The ones that can hurt you are not aggressive and I usually move them to a safe spot for them and me.
This one lived on my workbench for a few months before I moved him...he can make you miserable.
Spiders are fun to watch, they are very industrious creatures and hard workers.
Boll weevils are fun to watch too....and they also believe in having fun!
Piggy back riding...I remember those days...great fun!
