Shutterbug Saturday: Critter Collections
Nature’s wonderful creatures with many legs or, none at all. All photos are my personal collection. ~Vic

Found the little guy in our shed in the backyard (mating season).
I had trouble snapping his picture as he kept moving and I kept jumping.

We turned him over to a friend who had Tarantulas as pets.

I was really scared about what it was going to do. When we contacted our friend, I got all the Tarantula info I needed. They *can* bite and their venom can kill but, they can’t bite us. Mouth is too small. And, they have docile personalities. This juvenile was excitable because it was mating season and because we had put it in an old coffee can.

My chiro was certainly overjoyed to get the spider. It was an interesting encounter.
I followed that dragonfly for ten minutes trying to catch him.
