good shot ive seen a few of these, got a couple decent shots. they do run away from you a lot, you see them then go to view the pic and there somewhere else lol. #1 is best imo

[Leorooster]

Nice, Mark! For some reasons, the only spiders that I like are jumpers and crabs :roll: .....go figure.......the 2nd one is my favorite, btw :)

[LordV]

Good captures Mark- not certain if I've seen this one before or not but I certainly wouldn't of thought it was a wolf spider (not suggesting you are wrong BTW).

Nice one Mark Linda IDed it for me the other day as common Garden Spider.

[Clint]

i like it, i have to take one of the spider around the house and post later.

[skylab]

Great captures Mark. #1 is best, the do go go don't they.

I found a few of these outside the house, huge, scary creatures these things are...

[Ferco]

God are these the guys you see running along the pebbles? They are ferociously fast! Have yet to get a half decent snap of one- although now with my 300mm and extension tubes perhaps... lol awesome shots to me- to get snaps of these guys; I'm impressed

[00silvergt]

yes fast and very creepy...btw, do they come in like different colors, the ones around my house oddly enough are white, are these poisonous in any way?

[_aravena]

Wolf spiders a re hairy, those the name wolf and typically grey. Aniwho, awesome shots none the less. The first one ha a nice set up, shot from above with that whatever in the way.

Hiya Jay, Adrian, Brian, Alby, Clint, Skylab, 00silvergt,

Many thanks for your kind words & comments much appreciated as always,

Brian,
Your most welcome to suggest that I'm wrong for how else is one to learn :D

I'm definately wrong on that ID of mine, I really must engage my Brain before my Keyboard eh :oops::lol:

I've had a further snoop round on the Net & came up with this as the ID, it looks spot on & the Habitat is the same Etc, what do you think ???

Hiya Linda,

Sure am glad, I'm almost certain tiz that ' Coelotes inermis ' how I made such an obvious ' Cock up ' in the first place when the difference is so clear, damn good job I wasn't an Anti-Aircraft Gunner eh

Great shots Mark.

Having tried to get a shot of spiders from similar habitats, I know how quickly they move. I haven't yet managed a blurred shot, let alone a sharp one.

Well done.

[spidermanrbryce2006]

yea i wouldnt say it was a wolf spider! But i will say amazing shots i think i like the first shot because it looks like its just come out of hiding

[Samdiver74]

Hi Mark
Great captures, it looks like that website link you posted could possibly be Czech or maybe Polish, Check with Artur (Zman) if it is Polish he might be able to help.

[Lawrie B]

Well done Mark
Great capture

Hiya Bernie, Bryce, Alan, Linda,

Many thanks for your kind words & comments,

Bryce,
It was running for cover as I had disturbed it's hiding place which was under a sheet of old Bark that had fallen from a tree, it was ducking & diving trying to hide again :lol:

Allan,
Thanks for that :D I'll try n remember to PM him later

Cheers for now
Mark

Hi Mark

Mark, great find and excellent shots!

I'd love to help you with translation, but the linked website is either Czech or Slovak, so we're out of luck.
