I was using my new headlamp last night, when I looked at the ground and thought someone had dropped a few pieces of glitter around the yard.

I looked closer to see if that is what it was and found a one inch long wolf spider looking back at me.

I looked at another one and it was a two inch long wolf spider!

I noticed that the smaller ones would run away as I got closer, but the big ones would just stare right back. I had never noticed this before, has anyone else seen this?

Yes, it's a fun way to see just how many spiders are out there!

It was neat and a little startling at the same time!

Glad I've got a lot of little beneficial hunters around!

This song came to mind the other night with all those little eyes watching.

this is supposed to be a surprise, but it smells like a tiny ad:
