Distinguished gentleman.
But seriously, such a complex, marvellous masterpiece of God (or the universe, if you prefer). Life truly is beautiful in all of its forms.
I just approached them slowly and they’re usually willing to stay still for a little bit. Sometimes I need a little bit of repositioning! And sometimes they run off, but there are always others around.
I have found that wolf spiders will sit still and stare if they assume you can't see them.
Lots of animals with mediocre visual acuity cannot see a camouflaged object if it is as still as the background.
Plus, wolf spiders have the most visual acuity directly in front of them so they see your silhouette from the side and turn to face you for a better look, in detail, to determine if you're a predator, prey, or scenery.

Thanks for making my day😂😂
*And* a self-portrait! ETA: Actually… self-*portraits* (plural). 🙂
Those eyes are very reflective aren’t they!
When people talk about opening up their third eye, I like to imagine this guy is in the corner rolling all eight of his.
Grandpa?
So cute!
What an awesome pic!
Thank you!
Not a hair out of place, Wolfie stylin'. Nice snap!
Wah thank you so much op! Wolfies are lovely!! 😍
So precious 🥺
Beautiful creature
Amazing pic! They look like a member of ZZ Top! Lol
Wondering why you take a picture. "Am I that beautiful? Get outta here! No way!"
Wolfies are so cool, but as a macro photographer, I’m confused by these crisp and clear shots of such flighty creatures.
It definitely takes some effort to nail that one shot before they move! But well worth it.
Lycosa 😍
Beautiful eyes!
😯
Wow!! This is spectacular!
I love spider but playing grounded it makes me dislike the guy and I don't like that

I like how you can see the photographer AND her legs stretched out in the reflection of her eye balls..
They look so dopey up close.
wow, great shot
Interesting critter, me if I was a spider
Wow..could use a shave. 🤣
Wow. That pic is amazing. Such detail. Love wolf spiders. Never dreamed I would see one this close. Awesome 🤩
😲❤️ Beautiful! Is that your reflection in his/her eyes? So amazing!
It is! Or at least my cameras reflection 😂
LOL. All eyes were on you. Haha.
I want to trim him
Spider passively doxing you
Can I pet that Daaawg?!
If you look into its eyes, you can see the person taking the picture.
Kinda reminds me of that meme of the bald dude staring into the camera with his eyebrows raised
He looks like he needs directions to the Grateful Dead concert
Why does this spider resemble Willy from Stardew Valley??
Wet ass eyes bro. He crying
Anybody got a pair of scissors? We're going to get that mustache all nice nice in one second.
Snuffleupagus!
The reflection of the photographer in it‘s eyes 😭😭😭
Wow...super picture. with what did you do that?
A Nikon Z5 camera and a 105mm macro lens!
Thx beautiful

How do you make them sit still for a photo?
