Hello, all.

I just want to share some wonderful news with you in saying that I am getting 3 live female giant wolf spiders (Hogna carolinensis) from Todd Gearheart on Thursday, June 1st, 2006. In fact, H. carolinensis is the LARGEST species of wolf spider in North America! This particular species can reach 3" to 4" legspan... which is the size of a "typical" man's palm!!! This species is my #1 favorite spider in the entire world (In my humble opinion, giant wolf spiders are a lot more interesting & fascinating to observe than tarantulas.)! I can't wait until these ENORMOUS spiders arrive here! I am sooooooo very happy and excited about this to say the least! Perhaps I will shoot some pics and post them here in the future. I will keep all of you updated.

Take care,
Terry
