I know you were all very disappointed that yesterday's post was about our daughter's birthday. But I am sure that is was worth the wait!! This guy is UGLY!!! hairy, scary, creepy, wiggly etc. It is that time of year here in west Texas. They have arrived and are taking over. No not really don't panic.
They are Tarantula spiders. Thank heavens they are NOT poisonous well their bite might hurt and you might get some side effects from it, BUT you will not die or lose a chunk out of your arm. This is the time of year when they migrate. Migrate from where to where I haven't any idea. They just seem to pass through west Texas this time of year. When we lived here before and lived out in the country you could see them moving across the grass and all over the houses. But I haven't seen any in the city this year.
Our son found this one when we went to water the horses a couple of days ago. He was just hanging out on our friend's house. I thought about recruiting him and his buddies along with the turtles for the ranch livestock, but this guy wouldn't negotiate a deal either! What is it with these west Texas critter and not wanting to relocate. I mean this guy is migrating from where to where and won't even consider going to the Rocky Mountains. I am almost ready to give up on the this livestock thing!!
They are just such amazing and fascinating creatures.
