Description

One day I went into my bedroom and saw this guy/gal running across the floor. Its body is about 1 ½ inches long or 38.1 mm long. I grabbed my camera and at first it stopped at my bed then run into my closet where I took this shot of it stopped at one of my hiking boots laying on the floor. To think that this spider was running around my bedroom at night when I was asleep is just too creepy! I have no idea how long it was in there, how something this big could go unnoticed is beyond me. Anyway I trapped it with one of them big plastic Solo cups and put it outside. I couldn’t find a match for it in my books, but it looks like it could be in the Wolf-Spider family. Hope you are not crept out to much by this and zoom if you dare! Thanks for the comments.

Fantastic capture and a great zoom for detail. Can't believe the length of those legs. Dana

Good shot! This big guy realizes your shoes are to big for him after all!;o) But what kind a spider is it? A kind of Wolf spider?

I have read that humans swallow spiders often while sleeping.maybe that is why some mornings we are not as hungry as others?the lace in your boot looks like a snake at first glance.an excellent but creepy shot

It gives me the creeps just thinking about it being inside. I always tell spiders they are welcome in the garden but if they step inside, look out. They don't seem to take any notice.LOL. An excellent capture.
