Also, thanks for the correction, and for the wonderful photo. That was an amazing picture.<BR/><BR/>I've always hoped to visit Crete one day. I don't think even this spider lessens that desire.Raging Wombathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01898378698646624373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20146619.post-1164714008197823682006-11-28T03:40:00.000-08:002006-11-28T03:40:00.000-08:00Sorry to dissapoint you, but wolf spiders are foun...Sorry to dissapoint you, but wolf spiders are found all over the world! I found this one in my garden, in Crete, Greece. The reason we usually don't notice them is because they are shy animals, easily scared off by humans. They hide during the daytime (under rocks or in holes they dig in the ground) and they prefer to hunt (insects of course) by night. They are totaly inoffensive and really the only way for them to bite you is to stick your finger in their lair and only because they would feel threatened! And even then, their bite wouldn't be more painful than the sting of a bee or wasp, because their venom is very mild. They rely on their size and speed to subdue their insect prey so they are not really poisonous. Hope this helps to ease your fears :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20146619.post-1164035482645989942006-11-20T07:11:00.000-08:002006-11-20T07:11:00.000-08:00Ya, I seriously don't know what I would do if I en...Ya, I seriously don't know what I would do if I encountered this in the wild.
