Spider


Saturday our neighbor came over to show us something that had wandered into his backyard. His kids didn't like it and wanted him to get rid of it but mine liked it and wanted to keep it. I understand that a generation ago, tarantulas were seen fairly often crossing highway 38 as they migrated down from the mountains in the fall. We caught one on our patio about 10 years ago that was bigger than this one. This little guy was lucky, I didn't let the kids keep him. We passed him around for a little bit and took pictures of him before releasing it in our forest at the back of our yard.
