Spider of Death!


While James and I were setting up our fake spider webs for Halloween we saw this ferocious spider near our apartment. My heart stopped and I did not know what to do with such a huge thing. We were affraid to squish him just in case there were babies on his back. My idea was for James to get a glass bottle so we could take it far far far far away from our home.

James, my hero, concluded that it must be dead because it was in the middle of no where, and it had not moved in a long time. He grabed a piece of paper and poked it. The spider's leggs moved a little, but thank goodness it was dead!




James placed the spider on the paper and we took it to the street just in case it came back to life.

That is seriously gross. Next time I vote for the killing even if it has babies on its back because they will grow up to be full-grown beasties like that one.

Ack! I think I had a heart attack too... not good for me to see that spider... oh nellie... and I agree with redheadsmom about killing it even with the babies... but that is where you and I are different mind... you have such a compassionate heart... even when it comes to horrid death spiders and their babies! I love you for it!
