I love the spiders…
So, while everyone is sleeping what do I do, I spend a half
hour with my teenage daughter playing with a large spider.
About 1:00 in the morning I catch out of the corner of my
eye a spider lowering itself down from a light fixture. The thing was rather large, and I instantly recognized
it as a spider that I have been keeping on my porch for about a month, maybe
longer.
Autumn and I decided we wanted to play with it, I mean who
wouldn't right. We set some paper on the
table, and were both impressed as it could be heard across the room as its legs
hit the paper while walking.
I was also impressed that autumn was willing to pick the
thing up. None of the pictures I took with the coin in it turned out any good, but the body alone was the size of a quarter.
I try and teach my kids that all things are fascinating, and
not to cause harm, even to a spider. I
always follow this up with the FACT that it is completely ok to kill ladybugs,
as they are dangerous.
Anyhow, here is a few pictures that I took. I think
Autumn had some better ones however.
