Description A smallish Wolfspider.  These critters are enjoying the unseasonably warm weather, no doubt.  They scurry up the side wall of the house from the fallen leaves when the sun shines on it.  I always only see them crawling upward, never downward.  Is there an inexhaustable number of them on the ground?  Where do they go?

The funny thing is, I got one to wear a water droplet for a hat when I caught him and took care of him! i wish I had a good enough camera to take a pic.

I wanna pet it with my pinky finger : P
I haven't seen many spiders outside where I live, they must be hiding really well or something.

It has just been such a warm season here.  Usually we have snow on the ground by now and today I was outside in short-sleeves.  It's just crazy!

We haven't had any snow either, but it's been still pretty cold. All day yesterday and today we've had some freezing rain though :S

lovely shot

our diadem spiders were enjoying an unnaturally warm November until 2 days ago, too...

now it's snowing, so I guess they've retreated to warmer corners and holes... except 2 of them there are to small females who have settled in our apartment one in the living-room, the other in the office

Araneus diadematus.. I had to look that up...lol!  Yeah, every year we have spiders all about the house all winter.  I only recently learned that spiders can go for months without food.  Now I don't feel bad for these intrepid indoor survivors.

hehe, they're very, very usual where I live

I didn't know that for sure, thanks for the information!!... I only thought they could live for long without food, because I've seen a few of them moving out in the spring... and since we don't feed them, I had supposed they were hibernating or something like that
