We had a unexpeted guest the night of our stay at Arcosanti in Arizona. When Mr. B was getting ready for bed he spotted this tarantula lurking in the shadows!
Being city folk, we didn't know what to do with this giant spider. We didn't want to crush it because this was Arcosanti and at Acrosanti they have a saying: "let nature deal with nature". We also knew that tarantulas are less likely to hurt you than bunnies. So we covered the itsy-bitsy spider with a waste basket for the evening. I went to bed and quite by chance listed to Lullaby by The Cure. "On candy-striped legs, spiderman comes. Moving closer and closer to the edge of my bed."
Next morning we inquired as to what we should do with the king of spiders. We were assured that they can safely crawl on you and that they rarely bite you. If they do bite the worse than can happen is a nasty infection near the spot it chooses to stike.
Just as we decided to release the spider outside, we spotted another killer bunny! It was "cage match" time. We put the bunny and spider in the garbage bin. "Two go in! On comes out alive!"
Who do you think won? Please post your bets!
Remember, just because bunnies look cute, doesn't necessarily make it so.
