Wolf Spiders!!!

One of my biggest fears are spiders and this phobia began in Kindergarten due to my teacher bringing my class outside, which lead to a wolf spider crawling out at me. Ever since, I've been terrified of these creatures. So just imagine this popping out at you! 

 

Scary right? Remember something if you ever encounter a spider wrapping its legs around you to grab it's prey before biting and attempting to crush your leg, I think you should know that a Wolf Spider thinks you its prey. The lengths of these spiders vary. Sometimes their 0.08 inches, all the way to one and half! Spiders that are a small as an eyes pupil scare me so if any spider that size shows up in my house.......just know that if you were hear a super, high pitched scream and a yell that sounds like this, 'THERE'S A HUGE SPIDER IN MY ROOM' followed by footsteps and me scrambling outside, then you know that there's a wolf spider!

I found the information here. 
I also found the picture here.

WARNING: Both websites have horrifying pictures of wolf spiders!!!!!!!

Bulldog Ant

"Fearless and belligerent, the inch-long bulldog ant of Australia uses her sharp vision and venomous stinger to track and subdue formidable prey."

  

Bulldog Ants aren't just any ordinary Sugar Ant. Not only are they extremely venomous and have extremely painful stingers, they're rumored to be descendants from wasplike creatures! The simplest way that a Bulldog Ant kills is to jump on the creature or merely bite, which releases dangerous, toxic venom into their victims body, killing them quickly. And these victims are huge bees and other ants. Here's a Bulldog Ant attacking a bee:

The Weta

It's a rare thing to spot a Weta in any place except for New Zealand. Weta's can be found in many different climates/locations such as alpine, forests, grasslands, caves, shrub lands and gardens. A Weta is a very large insect, some Weta's even considered to be the largest and heaviest in all of the World. Their appearance resembles a cockroach and cricket but in addition has extremely long legs. Here's what a Weta looks like:

 

A Weta likes to eat other small invertebrates but a particular group of Weta bugs like to eat leaves, flowers and fruit. Weta bugs do bite humans and they can be extrememly painful but being bitten by a Weta bug is uncommon...as long as you don't bother it!
