Wolf Spider on Lieutenant Island’s Sandy Hook
Checking terrapin nests on the sandy hook of Lieutenant Island this week, I stumbled across an interesting spider vignette. A wolf spider stood at the opening to a perfectly circular wolf spider hole and appeared to be casting a mesmerizing spell on what might lie beneath.

When the spider tried to enter the hole, something happened to cause it to scurry several inches away. Then, a second wolf spider crept out of the hole to investigate what was happening topside.

The two spiders stood a few inches apart for what seemed like an eternity … or at least long enough to out-wait me, as I had to proceed with my survey of terrapin nests out on this isolated dune arm of Lieutenant Island.
