m_cobwebI went through my archives and re-uploaded this icon just for this post. Because last night I was introduced personally to the Giant House Spider, a species which apparently was brought to the Pacific Northwest about 1900 and has since become rather famous. Notorious?
I don't think they're poisonous, but I've been told they will run at you. I'm not bothered by spiders in general, but if a three-inch version runs at me, that could change. (I hear some of you screaming from here, don't I?}
My biggest worry was the cat where I'm staying, but I don't think she's inclined to mess with it. I did zip up my bag that it was next to, not wanting a nasty surprise. And it was the first thing I thought of this morning when I woke up. I don't know where it went, but it wasn't on my pillow, and that's the main thing.
I still need to tell my clients they have one of these, but I'm sort of hoping I'll find its naturally-deceased corpse before I have to.
