Great set. The wolf spider look like he's in hiding spotting his next victim. I love the stance they have, very low and wide.

My friend got bitten by one. They don't normally bother with humans but it crawled up the inside of his trouser leg and he smacked it, so he got bitten lol. I shouldn't laugh because he took a nasty allergic reaction but it was funny at the time. Spider was unharmed. It did look a bit bigger than that one in your pictures and also dark grey.
