ps I STILL HATE SPIDERS
WELL THE ANSWER IS:
Hi Craig and Nick,
Interestingly, you both sent us the same photo for identification.
This is a female Giant Crab Spider in the family Sparassidae, probably
the genus Olios. Nice image of the maternal behavior. We have read
that the mother spider shares prey with her spiderlings. We are so
intrigued with this image, and also amused that two different people
requested the identification, so we decided to make it our Bug of the
Month for March. By the way Nick, Craig says it was photographed in
Los Angeles. Giant Crab Spiders in the genus Olios are shy, nocturnal
hunters and they are harmless. They will actually help rid a home of
cockroaches.
So there is the answer

looks like somebody esle on the MCF wanted to know what it was too.... i don't care if he's harmless or not, i'm hitting him with a rifle if he comes to my house, evne if he does kill c o c k roaches
Thanks for the update Craig. Wonder if it's any relation to the Wolf Spiders. I thought they were the only ones with a maternal instict, guess not.
Now come on, none of y'all ever played with daddy long legs as a kid? I used to chase my sis around with them, LOL. She also HATES spiders. As long as it's not a black widow or brown recluse it can live, those get smashed upon ID. It's snakes I don't like and I have to deal (tan/mount them)with them in he shop[&o] unless I get a friend that likes the damn things do them for me. She has LIVE rattlers, ewwwwww.

As long as it doesn't bother me I'll let it be. Living in Nevada during my earlier years gave me a respect for spiders, snakes, lizards, and scorpions, I like 'em all. It's those damn insects that I can't stand.
