My boyfriend and I we're walking around in my backyard late last night and lo and behold climbing up my curtain was this very interesting little guy/girl. we're not sure at all what it is. Just so you know we live in texas, about oh... 500 miles out of arkansas. So I guess that would be the north eastern part. Its a cool little guy, at first we thought he was just a brown recluse but this one doesn't have the markings of one and it seems to be much bigger than what a 'cluse would be. This one is maybe an inch to two inches maybe... most likely closer to an inch and a half. Sorry if the pics are really crappy...

and the white stuff is just because we caught him in a really old tupperware thing... just grabbed something and snatched...

Mature male Lycosidae (wolf spider). Most likely a Hogna sp. Good lookin' fella' though.
