Every spider that crawls across your pillow at night is twice that size.

Not all of us have inherited an ancestral fear of spiders. This one doesn’t seem to be particularly dangerous to humans, and looks to me like a spunky little fellow. I think it’s cool.

Wasn’t there postings awhile back of some very large spider in Iraq? One of the troops was holding the thing up. I think it was called a Camel Spider.

And here is the North American Mega-Giant Pillow Huntman Tarantula. It lives exclusively under pillows and eats people.

Sorry, my mistake! This is the goliath birdeater tarantula from northern South America.
