A different kind of Pretty Bug(s)

I took this picture this morning at the day job
I assume the bigger one is the female?
This picture was taken in Kansas.
I don't believe these are wolf spiders.
They were the size of a Silver dollar
The bigger one crawled in the door as i opened it so i used a spoon i had in my coffee cup
to shoo him out of the crack so he wouldn't get crushed as i shut the door.
I had no reason to destroy these Arachnids because i didn't believe that they were any danger.
Kinda cool huh?..
I think they were getting ready to do the nasty :D

3. I can't argue
Although I am not sure if the spider rule apply's to arachnids
I think in the bird world it differs though.
:hi:

2. My dear GoPsUx!
Whew!

Pretty bugs?

Kinda scary to me, sweetie...

I don't know why, but I was thinking...cars!

I admire your not destroying them, though!

4. If they were Black Widows or Brown Recluses they'd be squashed for sure.

I just kind of thought they were too neat to kill.
Hi Calpeg: :D :hug:

You don't have to worry about me killing them,

6. I grew up near Wichita
I remember seeing a wolf spider on the sidewalk as a child and running all the way home in a panic!
