Here in New Mexico, USA there are a lot of wolf spiders. Most range in size from 1/2 inch to 1 inch in size. This wolf spider pictured was around 1 inch. Wolf spiders are a little difficult for me to photograph, as they are fast and do not stay still for long periods. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5504165591753821123.post-40971723542973845002011-09-23T11:16:00.000-07:002011-09-23T11:16:00.324-07:00Bright Yellow Crab Spider<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvfHiXAJ4A6GO-0sij0h9rC8dOg8dILCuFqkqFgx-hg8dJDvQnZ5GYSA-uCGvcHcWYM0fM4vRkhhAAf28rY6i1Nbgr-z3aQDPaK-N7PmlXX3xryY9amKLBz0_WeDS-xcbtU7LR0FARy2yl/s1600/spider_crab_yellow.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5653765345986977858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvfHiXAJ4A6GO-0sij0h9rC8dOg8dILCuFqkqFgx-hg8dJDvQnZ5GYSA-uCGvcHcWYM0fM4vRkhhAAf28rY6i1Nbgr-z3aQDPaK-N7PmlXX3xryY9amKLBz0_WeDS-xcbtU7LR0FARy2yl/s320/spider_crab_yellow.jpg" /></a> Picture of a yellow crab spider on a flower petal.
