Here’s a mama wolf and a bunch of babies that I got out of the pool yesterday.

When I was young, I found one like that (don't recall what type of spider, but with babies - I didn't know that), in my tent while I was camping. Made the mistake of swatting it rather than taking it outside.
Baby spiders everywhere! Not a good night's sleep.

I believe its a Tree Spider. I was setting on the porch with a girlfriend I went out with for a while and Aragon. The porch light wasn't on but there was just enough light coming to the windows that I looked up at what I thought was just a big knot in the lumber in the ceiling of the porch. It wasn't till I looked up and saw the knot in a different place that I was concerned. I went in and turned the porch light on and noticed it was a spider that had a leg span of about 6 in. I freaked out, there ain't much I'm afraid of but spiders are one of them. I'm not afraid of getting bit I'm just afraid of their ugliness and creepiness.

It was a couple years later that we were fishing on the bank and I saw about a 3-in long lime green worm about the diameter of your middle finger dangling from the tree. I asked myself how's that sticking on the tree if it's just hanging by the front. So I tried to maneuver around and get a good look at it and there was a one of those big freaking spiders again. Gigantic! I couldn't believe my eyes that I actually saw another one that big. I believe they live in trees and eat caterpillars and worms and such. I can tell you one thing I don't get close to those things cuz they just creep me out something fierce.

The ones you commonly find around water or the Nursery Webb Spiders. They feed around water for small aquatic insects and small fish, tadpoles and frogs.

I was on the back porch with my wife one night and she was commenting on the grass and how it "sparkled". I told her everywhere she saw a sparkle was a set of spider eyes. She didn't believe me, so I took out my flashlight and flashed an area perpendicular. I found a set and told her to walk to it, and sure enough there was a Huntsman spider just sitting there. We have an acre of land and there must have been a couple hundred set of eyes. She doesn't walk outside after dark now.

You could set fire to that land. No one would blame you.

Look in your own yard. I bet they are there too.
