Say hello to my little friend

[Minstrel]

I hate spiders, and this house is eat up with them...
There is a big one living around my basement stairs at the moment that I've not been able to do anything with...
I have named it "Super Rack-Nid", on account of how it can move faster than a speeding bullet...

This is a photo of Super Rack-Nid...




Say hello to my little friend.

Pleased to make "Super Rack-Nid"'s acquaintance...this way. They do seem alien.

Is your niece a brunette?...like, maybe, Snow White?

In West Texas, at some point around Independence Day, tarantulas will migrate across the highway en masse...for only a few days. But, those few days make for an awesome sight, not to mention, a messy car.

Hope your little caped friend stays in his/her corner of the world, tending its own business. I've tried 'being nice' and giving them space...but the relationships rarely last too long - especially when they deliver a load of babies.

By the by - I didn't know Huntsmen were in the continental U.S. ... My daughter, who has been in Australia for the last two years, has had numerous encounters with some of that variety, and says that they are fast as lightning.
