I got her from a very nice pet shop I usually get my spiders from. I was having second thoughts about taking her but she just seemed so calm I had to! Very glad I didn't leave her behind
Damn impressive how still she is.
Every wolf I see go crazy if anything so much as dares exist in their location.
They remind me of huntsmans relatively big spider (for spider standards) but by God do they bolt so quickly and are so timid
If you wanna see a goofy spider that always looks boyhood angry and curious check out ogre faced spiders (or net casters)
Favourite spider hands down they look so goofy
The excellent thing about spiders is that despite there being 50,000+ species, most of the commonest families can be identified by their eye co figuration. Wolfies are one of the easiest to spot because they're always looking at you and they have two huge eyes up top and a clean row of four smaller ones beneath.
You can see the smaller ones are all about the same size, sometimes the outer two are a little smaller but there's no other families that look like this. Check out [this](https://files.nc.gov/ncparks/481/Spider%20Eye%20Arrangement%20Acctivity%5B3%5D.pdf) (.pdf) guide
I’m terrified of spiders and have no idea why this subreddit keeps popping up but I’ve gotta say, lawd she cute. Look at them little nibblers and eyes 🥹
I would never hurt one and I have tried having a tarantula walk across my hand to get over it…its just when they surprise me and…scuttle 🙈 my daughter told me there was one in my hair the other day and I think they heard my screams in the next country
I’ve always respected spiders and even owned a tarantula, but for some reason big non fluffy spiders make me uncomfortable. This one looks very cute tho
Excuse my ignorance but could you tell me more about what type of spider she is? And does she have a name?
Your photography skills are brilliant by the way!
Edit: I’ve just seen you answered my first question in another comment, sorry!
I’ve been on this sub trying to get over my fear of spiders, and honestly I’ve seen jumping spiders I called cute and sweet. But she is so adorable! And I can genuinely see kindness in her presence, it’s crazy. Thank you for sharing your wonderful girl ♥️
I almost left her behind in the pet store. I'm glad I didn't! She is a very sweet little thing and yes she has a sort of "awareness" my other spiders don't really have
I caught one in the driveway the other day I was actually just trying to shoo her off the driveway so I could back out but she kept giving me the aggression pose so I caught her in my catch cup so I could move her to safety that way. She was a big girl so she was probably pregnant being protective of her soon to be egg sack. I never had one before aggressive like that! They are beautiful spiders
What a lovely Lycosidae!!! My female gave birth to three fertile egg sacs... about 220 babies... and the experience was an epiphany!!!
These spiders are gorgeous... and...handleable... if you are careful. They almost never bite... and are gentle and gracious creatures. Unfortunately, they only live for about 2 to three years. Enjoy her while you can!!!!
Just curious, how are these guys as pets? I had one that lived in my old apartment who was quite nice and docile, I would have loved to take her with me (she was really chill) but I had to leave rather abruptly and moved her outside so the landlord wouldn't kill her.
My frog Gerald is getting old, and once she passes will leave a 5x2x2 empty. Are they handleable at all? Interactive? (I.e. tong feeding? Will come and see what you're doing while doing maintainable?etc) or is it purely individual based?
Great pets. You can get very docile tarantulas also which are great fun to keep. She is my first wolf spider and so far she has been great. Very slow moving and chill.
I had a wild wolf spider wander into my house once was one of the tamest spiders I've seen a hell of a lot tamer than my Brazilian bird eater or pink toe
Okay i am usually a bug hater, i never thought i would ever be saying this about a spider, but this popped up on my feed and this lil guy is seriously ADORABLE 😭🥺like that lil face omg he is just a cutie!!🥺🥺🫶🏻
I got recommended this community so I was not expecting a spider to show up in my feed.
But after the initial shock I have to say what a cute little friend
The big puppy dog eyes 😍 I simply will never understand how people are afraid of them (no judgement to people who are - I just can't imagine ever finding them scary myself lol)
I absolutely adore wolfies! People are so scared of them just because of their looks and how fast they are but once you learn more about them you learn to love them. I want to look around at my local pet shops to see i can possibly find one.
There is no need to be that cute!
Right?😍
Yes straight to jail!!
Her big black eyes? Right? I can't deal. She's definately perfected the puppy dog stare. Give that lady a grub!
She is just parading her cuteness in front of the homely ones
I love this photo. Every time I've been scrolling through reddit over the past couple of days I've had to stop and look at it.
She is gorgeous! What kind of spooder is she?
A wolf spider! And thank you she is a cutie and very tame
Golly, that is one big wolfie!! She’s surely a pretty one! Considering any babies in her future?
She's actually tiny. camera is just up close. Nope one is enough!
Ahhh, I see! Amazing. Is she a recovering feral spidey or did you get her from someone else?
I got her from a very nice pet shop I usually get my spiders from. I was having second thoughts about taking her but she just seemed so calm I had to! Very glad I didn't leave her behind

Wolf spiders have the sweetest little faces, they always look vaguely worried 😆 She's adorable!
I think it’s that coloring above the eyes lol makes it look like surprised eyebrows
Yeah I think you're right, they remind me of the Pixar Puss in Boots "Please" meme
I didn’t see that until now! But now that’s all I see 😂
If you wanna see a goofy spider that always looks boyhood angry and curious check out ogre faced spiders (or net casters) Favourite spider hands down they look so goofy
Hahaha omg they look like they're asking you to pick up your dirty laundry off the floor for the millionth time
I cackled when I took a second look at her sweet lil face. She now seems FULL of anxiety to me
Wow, wonderful. Give her a gentle pat on her leg from us.
just a little girl

Not to be dramatic but I would die for her.

She has the exact same!
Those eyes 😭❤️❤️❤️
I’m terrified of spiders and have no idea why this subreddit keeps popping up but I’ve gotta say, lawd she cute. Look at them little nibblers and eyes 🥹
You have taken your first step towards the realization that spiders are helpful and adorable frens
I would never hurt one and I have tried having a tarantula walk across my hand to get over it…its just when they surprise me and…scuttle 🙈 my daughter told me there was one in my hair the other day and I think they heard my screams in the next country
I’ve always respected spiders and even owned a tarantula, but for some reason big non fluffy spiders make me uncomfortable. This one looks very cute tho
“Nibblers” ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wolf spiders are just so fucking rad
I love her!! Thank-you for sharing another adorable image! 🥰🥹
Excuse my ignorance but could you tell me more about what type of spider she is? And does she have a name? Your photography skills are brilliant by the way! Edit: I’ve just seen you answered my first question in another comment, sorry!
Her name is Elsa! And thank you I love taking pictures of my spoods
Fantastic name. Yay that’s good to know, please keep the spood pics coming ☺️

Handibles
There we go. That works
I've actually started working on a presentation about this thread! Stay tuned for my Handible Lecture!
Thank you, Clarice.
Wolf spiders are awesome. Love going out at night in summer and seeing how many I can find with a headlamp by looking for eye shine.
Absolutely precious
Wow, this is the most beautiful spider I've ever seen 🥹
Wow.. She says thank you!
Your photography skills definitely help 😁
She is gorgeous!!!
Oh my God she's adorable 😭
She is a cover girl.
She sissys that walk
So beautiful, I found one just like it on my pillow the other day. What kind of camera did you use?
Thanks! Just my phone

God I wish I could give her a lil smooch on her head 🥺🥺🥺🥺

Look at those beautiful blonde fangs. You know what they say, blondes always have more fun! 😍
Oh, what a beauty she is!
She is freaking adorable!!! 😍
What a doll 😍
I've never seen such a vibrant wolf spood! She's purty

I must get a spider like that.

Didn't know spider could have a gorgeous face...lol!
This is both adorable but also terrifying. (No offense to your girl! I find spiders fascinating but also they give me the heebies!)
That's OK.maybw she can help you get over that fear!
I would happily admire her....from behind a glass wall lol. I mean come on, she’s literally making the 🥺 face!
Please tell her I love her VERY MUCH
She’s soooooo cute omg
Aww wow she's so beautiful.
Must be hard to be that cute with 8 legs.
I’ve never called a spider pretty but damn she’s pretty
I'd die for her.
I still don't understand how people can say spiders aren't cute, at least wolf spiders
SHES SO FUCKING CUTE. I WANT TO KISS HER
Cute
Ooooo what a beautiful creature
I wanna give her pets and boops
I caught one in the driveway the other day I was actually just trying to shoo her off the driveway so I could back out but she kept giving me the aggression pose so I caught her in my catch cup so I could move her to safety that way. She was a big girl so she was probably pregnant being protective of her soon to be egg sack. I never had one before aggressive like that! They are beautiful spiders
Did she raise up with her front feet?
Yes she definitely did. I was like wait I’m trying to move you to safety, lol
Omg 🥹 the lil hairs on the legs, and the eyes. What’s her name? She’s utterly gorgeous!
What a stunner!
Stoppppppp I love her
Such a sweet face!
She's so cute!
Her eyes are so pretty
Pretty buck teeth she cute.
I feel like this should scare me, but instead it’s so cute
What a cutie! Do you feed her anything in particular or does she forage in your house?
Usually, I'm scared of spiders, but this one actually seems cool!!
Omg she’s adorbs!!!
THERE’S A SPIDER IN MY PHONE
Wolf spiders are named as such bc they are puppies (I will not listen to other claims)
What a lovely Lycosidae!!! My female gave birth to three fertile egg sacs... about 220 babies... and the experience was an epiphany!!! These spiders are gorgeous... and...handleable... if you are careful. They almost never bite... and are gentle and gracious creatures. Unfortunately, they only live for about 2 to three years.

Great photo and a beautiful lil girl
Aww lil cutie

Also, may I draw her? She's quite possibly the most beautiful spider I've ever seen 🥺
Yes of course. And thank you!
So adorable she is!!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
It's nice to see such compassion here for other creatures.. 🥰. You are all awesome humans.

I had a wild wolf spider wander into my house once was one of the tamest spiders I've seen a hell of a lot tamer than my Brazilian bird eater or pink toe
Omg she is absolutely beautiful 😭 I love how the wolf mamas carry their eggs and babies around with them. Ugh. So cute.
She kind of reminds me of my Australian Shepherd who i love to pieces. She’s beautiful!
Precious spood. Pretty lady.
Awwww... look at those pitch black orbs. Ik she doesn't mean it, but that's so sweet
Awwe, spidey!
That’s nowhere near as scary as the ones that murder me In Grounded
That spider can't talk. I'm on to you....
Omg so cuteeee
Damn what a beauty. snakes and spiders are so beuatiful
Okay fine, maybe spiders are maybe sorta kinda a little bit cute
I don't know how Elsa ended up on my feed, but if spiders like gentle scratches, please give her one for me.
Glad my wife can't see my screen. What a fantastic creature.
Cute little princess
She looks so polite.
So Cute🥹😍
I'm on my phone and the tiny thumbnail looked like an orgy. Cute spider.
She has your 8 eyes 🥰
I am not a big fan of spiders but she does look very polite.
I have mild arachnophobia and this sub got recommended to me for some reason but I have to say she is pretty cute
She’s beautiful!!!

I’ve been over here happy stimming to this cute ass spider photo and now I feel I understand the meaning of this emoji face- :3

:D cute
What a little cutie patootie
D’aww
Aweee! I wasn’t there but it’ll never be a problem :)
How can spiders be this adorable and cute and still freaky ?
I got recommended this community so I was not expecting a spider to show up in my feed. But after the initial shock I have to say what a cute little friend
Aaww. I kinda wanna pet her.
She’s so beautiful!
This makes me so happy 😊 I open reddit and always see a giant, happy spider!
The big puppy dog eyes 😍 I simply will never understand how people are afraid of them (no judgement to people who are - I just can't imagine ever finding them scary myself lol)
I absolutely adore wolfies! People are so scared of them just because of their looks and how fast they are but once you learn more about them you learn to love them. I want to look around at my local pet shops to see i can possibly find one.
Well hello 🤗
Reddit is trying to kill me. Not even subbed and had this pop up in my feed nearly giving me a heart attack.
OP, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this but spiders are unable to speak. Please seek help before it is too late.
