The Itsy Bitsy Spider...

So if Tobacco-Horned Worms weren't weird enough to discover in our yard......

kyle was outside enjoying his smoke break after dinner when he poked his head through the garage door beckoning me, "MALAKA! HURRY! HURRY! COME QUICK! BRING KIERA! HURRY UP!" So of course i HURRIED out the door to the outside of the house. i'm pretty sure i gasped and possibly slightly peed my pants when i

came around the corner to find the BLACK TARANTULA sitting next to my plants! UGH! TARANTULA! i'm not completely creeped out by bugs... but the larger they are they creepier they are.... eww.. he was just creepy... and kyle thought so also, my BIG STRONG MUSCLE MAN kyle... ya that guy that didn't hesitate when our neighbor took the bucket from him and captured the beast himself. kyle was relieved ;) so the with the collaboration of the neighborhood kids (who all thought the tarantula was super cool) the lucky guy was set free in the hills behind our houses.... not my choice, but then again i would have had to get close to him to end his life... so a free spider he was... and unfortuntely the rain did not wash him out...
