B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for December 03, 2020

Woven in a cocoon of silky threads as you are slowly consumed – alive. Or being quickly ripped apart and fed to the pups. Yah… the wolves do sound better!

Wait until they break out their other four legs!

Maybe these guys are friends of Wolfie. And discovered the advantages of being friendly.

That’s an easy choice to make.

Are there any werewolf spiders?

Hollywood, here I come!!

No, no, no.

I want to see you “taking a chance” with werewolves, next! ;)

Wolf spiders are great at keeping other spider populations down.Wolf spider moms carry their young around but will just look like a big fat spider, so I recommend putting them out (when the weather is warm) as if you try to hit them the young clinging to them will scatter. Even if you are largely cool with spiders, that can be a bit unnerving. You can find videos with a simple search, if you dare. :P

As long as the tails are wagging…

Wolves: “I don’t know whether to feel complimented or insulted!”

Unless the prehistoric ones were huge, wolf spiders are mostly harmless to people.

By the evidence of cobwebs, we obviously have spiders in the house, but rarely see them.

I have no idea what they eat as, other than an occasional house fly in the summer, we don’t see any other bugs either around the house or in the webs.

I’m very much OK with spiders and snakes and whatnot as long as they are outside the house.

spiders. . .I LUV them in their natural habitats. . .which is outside far away from me. . .the ones that really freak me out are those in Australia the size of dinner plates. . .

Make friends with the wolves. Your progeny will breed and over-breed them to the point of absurdity. Pugs. Yorkies. etc. Lotsa fun.

Aaaah! Dummy!

Yup. I’m right there with you. …shudder

You are never more than 10 ft from a spider

More afraid of Shelob and her friends?

Wolf spiders are a real thing. I’m gonna take my chances with the wolves too! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_spider

Would you be interested in domestication and a life of all the comforts, except in S.E. Asia?

BC needs the fat broad. She knows how to handle snakes and spiders.

Wolf spiders are actually pretty harmless. And non poisonous.

Night Vale’s minor league baseball team is the Spider Wolves.

I have to say I agree with BC on his choice of companions. I’d pick the wolves over the wolf spiders, too.

Wolf spiders? Those things are maybe 1½" long, and will run like crazy from people.

I’m with him…

I’ll take my chances with the canines every time!

Sheep in wolves’ clothing?

Where’s Queen Ida? It’s December 3rd!

What happened to Queen Ida’s birthday?

I’m guessing since Queen Ida died 12/15/2018, the last tribute on 12/3/2019 (her birthday) noting her death was indeed the last tribute. I’m surprised only 2 people remembered. Long live the Queen & RIP.

Where’s Queen Ida’s birthday message?
