Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Look up Wolf Spider and see if that's what you have. I have lots of them, they prefer to be outside (if you get one in the house, capture it in a jar and take it back out). They are GREAT bug catchers! They can get very big and have beautiful markings. Note: I am allergic to spider bites, these are probably big enough to bite, but I've never been bitten by one - they are very shy.
