Dolomedes Tenebrosus

It's just another way of saying Creepy. I was at the cottage last night, (the building has been painted, so it has changed from a red "cabin" to a blue and white building that looks like it belongs on a beach by the sea, (cottage)). Anyway, I proceeded to shut the basement door and it didn't close all the way, so I opened it  again and slammed it, still, would not close, so I slammed it again. On the third attempt a spider with about a 4" span came out of a really small hole. 

It came out really fast, I was actually amazed that something that big could come out of such a small hole. 

Now, let me just say, I am a tad afeared of spiders, not afraid, afeared. being afraid means I would run away from them, this is not the case, I fear getting bit by the sneaky little bastards. The bites are ugly and they hurt. So I usually try to make sure the little eight legged monsters can't bite, I kill them, with extreme prejudice.

The Spider was a Dolomedes Tenebrosus, the damn thing sounds like a disease. Easier said, it's a Fishing Spider. 

This one unfortunately, did not come to a flattened slimy end, I showed it to Nat just before I was about to mash it all over the new paint with my boot, when she swatted it off the door. So, being night time outside, where it went was unknown.
