tuesday morning my little rabid wolf spider died. rabid wolf spiders only live about two years and it wasn't clear how old she was when i got her. but definitely at least a year by her size. a few weeks ago she stopped eating altogether and began moving very sluggishly. i could never hold her like a tarantula because wolf spiders are ridiculously fast and the risk of dropping her too great. being bitten was much less of a concern as wolf spider venom isn't particularly toxic. would have hurt i'm sure, but she never showed signs of aggression toward anything that wasn't a yummy bug. i got to hold her tuesday for the first time and was amazed how small and frail she really was and how outlandishly huge we are. little Mia, you were truly a cool spider. i'll miss you. 💜
