Hitchhikers: Ssscchhhhaaaayyy Hhheeeellloo To Maahh Leetle Friendd?
Found this thing crawling around the backseat when I arrived at work this morning. Likely picked up while either in Fresno, Huntington Lake, or up at New Melones Lake.

It crawled right up into my coffee cup and I was ready to let it go 5 minutes later.
Guess it was starved from hiding or the leftover drops of Peet's Coffee gave it a cardiac.
Second one was this weekend, first time I've seen an almost pink-yellow LadyBug. Buddy said it could be a Female Asian-MultiColor.

Post up any hitchhikers you find while working or driving your car. *Must be alive or recently alive, no windshield stain collectibles.
*Also, NO "KILL IT, KILL IT WITH FIRE".

Seriously, spiders bro? I though being afraid of small closed spaces was bad.
Edit, looking again at my stuff I come up with Female Beige Wolf Spider, possibly/likely Lycosa or "Baby/True Tarantula". Here's the male.

Probably a nurse spider, commonly mistaken for a wolf spider. Pretty common spider in nor cal.

I find them up at my other house all the time. Scared the crap out of me the first time I found one, but they are pretty harmless.

what was that spider on mike?
