Krueger

Jeff has numerous "decorative" items inside and outside the house. Most of these items are found objects and some are very valuable. Sometimes creatures take up residence in the outside items. This is the case with Krueger.

Over a year ago we noticed his web and occasionally saw the wolf spider peeking out. He would come out in full view mostly in the early morning or early evening hours. We are now on our third Krueger (or maybe 4th). They don't live very long and a younger spider will usually take over their "home". This Krueger is probably the biggest so far. We can see the fur on his legs. I know he's creepy but naming him (them) makes it a little easier. The name is perfect because when he's just peeking out of the lip of the jug all you can see are his legs. The image resembles the metal claws of Freddy Krueger.
I have never actually watched a Nightmare On Elm Street film all the way through. I usually say hello to spider Krueger on my way out the door to work and in the evening. He doesn't do much but wait for food to arrive. Jeff tries to feed him occasionally but I've never been around to witness that moment of bonding.
