Brown Tarantula

The room was somewhat dark with only the light of dawn filtering through the curtains... This lil creature, which didn't look like a creature at all and more resembled a child's small toy, had its legs all balled up under him. Because the last thing on my mind was it being a spider, I reached down to pick it up and put it back in the toybox where it belonged. IT MOVED. It stretched out its hairy legs and suddenly I saw it for what it really was. A huge tarantula. Why was it in my house? How did it get in my house? I did end up retrieving it but not with my bare hands... and I let it go outside. :) He is much cuter on the front porch than he is on the floor of my office. Wouldn't ya say?
