And she didn't even scream. Yay her. Not that she'd touch the jar with him in it, but still... it's progress.
Anyway, I went looking for what this little fellow was because he was so damn pretty. Ours was slightly different - with yellowish markings on his back instead of white - but the defining characteristic is the nifty metallic green fangs. I'm not a huge bug fan, but he was too cool to squash. He entered the Sanderson spider relocation program and is now residing in a vacant building nearby.
You know, he's so awesome, I almost think he deserves a spot in one of my stories.

EEEEEW--creepy. I've got the shivers. Was the spider poisonous???
ReplyDeleteLOL...The Sanderson relocation program allusion is cute.
He's not dangerous to people, but he does eat insects and other spiders. As far as I can tell, the only venomous spiders around here are the black widow, the brown recluse and something called a hobo spider.
ReplyDeleteI had one of these adorable little guys jump in my car today from the sun roof. At first I was very cautious as I wasn't sure if he was poisonous. He sat on my dashboard and watched me drive home very quickly as I kept one eye on him. He certainly is a hoppy little fella. Lol. I was thrilled to read that he was in fact not at all poisonous and I too enrolled him into the Hassani Family Relocation program in the fern in front of our house ;). He sure was a cutie pie.
ReplyDeleteI have had two in one month!!!! He lives downstairs in the grassy yard now. He also got peed on by my dog a few minutes later. poor guy.
