Moving a friend. (arachnophobe warning)

[Kali]

Outdoors should be better than my bathroom, don't you think?

[XemaSab]

1. Can you get rid of it for me

before I get down there, dude?

[Kali]

2. Heh, better learn to love 'em.

It finally rained and they are going to be everywhere.

[XemaSab]

5. You think it's too late

to check into the Chuparosa for a week? :scared:

[Kali]

10. hahahaha - I read Chupacabra!

another local critter you may or may not want to "check into"

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

3. That's it. I'm not going to AZ ever.

[Kali]

9. eh - they are pretty harmeless. Big galoots, really.

they can bite, but no worse than a bee sting, I hear - I have been handling them all my life and have never been bitten. I guess they can kick off some of the hair on thier abdomens and that is supposed to be a major irritant, but I haven't ever seen that either.

[Nicole]

4. What is that?

The only thing I've seen here that size is tarantulas.

Why did I ignore the warning. :scared:

[Kali]

7. Yep you guessed it.

[Crowdance]

6. Bee-yoo-tee-ful!

What kind of spider is it?

[Kali]

8. Yes it seems to be in very good shape ---or else it's a female

I can't remember how the spinners are supposed to be for sex, but I know the males usually have a much more slender abdomen and that one was nice and round. Males are the ones usually seen wandering around after the rains come - looking for LOVE, baby. Females tend to be homebodies.

Don't remember scientific name, desert tarantua will have to do.

[Whoa_Nelly]

11. You're brave to live with those guys!

Have lived in Tucson several times, and no way would I have let a tarantula crawl on me much less wait to take a picture!

Holy Moley! :scared:

[leftofthedial]

12. why is the spider dragging the person's arm outside?

wouldn't the spider just devour it indoors?

[Kali]

14. ...

:spray:




it wanted to dine al fresco?

[xchrom]

13. that's awfully good of you -- i might have chosen

a container to do the moving.

[Arugula Latte]

15. Oh gawd!

:scared:
