The cool thing about them is that they don't build webs. They overpower their kills. They're tough, and faster then hell.

Here's the one I caught in my house. Those are 12" floor tiles. Note the red-eye.

I believe the op video was a fishing spider, yours might be too. Live near a river? I torched one in my back yard a few months back as part of my zero tolerance policy on things that scuttle

See them ALLLLLL the time here in NC. Wolf spiders don't even phase me. If they're big enough like the one that guy was being a pansy over, I'll catch them and let the kids feed it moths and other small bugs.

This is the one reason I like California. There are hardly any insects or bugs here. I think I've seen a few daddy long legs spiders and maybe a little bigger one in the 8years I've been here.

No mosquitos and hardly any flies, though I think the smog kills em.

A friend of mine tried to "relocate" a spider with babies on its back once. Accidentally dropped it on the garage floor and the babies spread like a cloud across the ground. It went from a simple spider relocation to four grown men dancing around trying to stomp as many of the babies as we could in an instant
