Bright eyed singers - wolf spiders by William H. Amos, Vermont, US "There's a wolf spider over there on the tree," I told an unbelieving grandson. He had reason to doubt, for it was a dark night, the tree was fifty feet away, and Grandpa was known for pulling legs. My flashlight picked up tiny greenish points of light, different from others that clearly were dew. We followed the beam of light and before we reached the tree, the bright pinpricks suddenly moved and disappeared. "Wow!" The boy was clearly impressed. Once at the tree, close searching revealed the spider wedged in a crack.
