My, what pretty eyes he, she, it has!
Another look at her pretty eyes....
Its eyes are looking at the camera -- it knows you're going to post its portrait to the Interwebs.

That's a smart spider! LOL.
It's a type of wolf spider. I get two types, this one being the heavier and creepier of the two. The other type are skinnier, though just as large, span wise, and the pictures in the previous thread were of the skinnier type. https://community.hughesnet.com/t5/General-Discussion/CREEPY-PICTURE-WARNING-I-hate-it-when-it-rains-in-the-summer-and/m-p/80203#M358
The skinnier ones don't bother me as much, and if it's not that much trouble I'll actually attempt to catch them and transport them outside rather than doing them in, but the kind shown in this thread don't fare well when I see them. They tend to be more aggressive if cornered, and though I've never been bitten by either one, from what I understand it can be quite painful. Harmless, but painful.
I was actually surprised that this one let me get as close to it with the camera as I did. Next time I'll try the super macro setting and attempt to get even closer, but, to be honest, I hope there isn't a next time, though I have no doubt there will be.
