Spider Fight
Bensalem, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA
October 20, 2009
Size: 1"-2"
The thing wrapped up below it was a small wolf spider, atleast I'm pretty sure that's what it was. It lost the fight pretty easily to whatever the orange spider is.

Hi Mike,
you have a couple of interesting spiders there. Spider legs don't count in their size measurement. It's just from the tip of their head to the end of their abdomen. Also, it is sometimes very helpful to have images of both sides of the spider. This probably doesn't help you for these spiders unless you took those images and just didn't post them, but it'll be good to know for future ID requests.

Thanks a lot, that spider's s
Thanks a lot, that spider's still in the same place it was yesterday when I took the picture. I'm not too sure how long they stay in one place but I can try to get more pictures of it.
