If you found that spider dead later, I wouldn't be surprised. If it lived some more, I wouldn't be surprised.

The kid at the pet store told us that male tarantulas live about 5 years, and females about 20. Good thing my brother bought my daughter a female...

they're fairly docile as pets. the ones we had would crawl up your arm, to sit on your shoulder. Well they were nice pets, til the cat decided to take them out of the cage and play hockey with them. Once dead their exoskeletons will stay the same, if you spray some clear lacquer on them.

Google survey said it's a fluid that heals accidents and is also used during molting.

Giant spiders....something new for me.

Want something a little more exciting? get a black (OOPS) UV light and wander the property at night. Scorpions glow in the dark, when you shine them with the light.

I do have a black light flashlight and have wandered around the property at night with it. I don't find 'em outside, the ones I have found were inside. Three so far this year.

Dog ate one of 'em.

My ex. I believe she was of alien origination. And not across de border alien.

Like Natasha Henstridge, in Species. Only less leggy, more deadly.

Enjoying Friday evening pizza and watching hummingbirds on the back patio when a cow moose forages through the yard. If they only knew what celebrities they are. Called the neighbors to bolo.

Yeah William, it's a cool vibe here. Less folks and stuff, and GK and I can give each other shit on a frequent basis.
