I am a known quantity regarding
spiders. Pretty much everyone knows they
give me the creeps (mathematically squared).
In the vernacular of my hometown of
East Helena, Montana, I’m a “big baby.”
Yesterday, while double-checking my
cabin door (from the outside) to make sure I had locked it, I found a spider
clinging the wall nearby.
Not just any spider.
This spider was quite a bit bigger
than your average Joe Shmoe arachnid. I
would estimate a leg spread of about two inches. We are talking a big bull spider with long spikey
hair and huge boxing gloves (palps). A grizzly
bear kind of spider.
I captured a couple images with my
smarter-than-me-phone and then quietly backed away so the spider didn’t pounce
on me.
