I collect tarantulas. That was very strange. I've heard of orb weavers being big but that is just down right gigantic. It almost looks unreal. My biggest tarantula is about the size of a my hand and that is a tarantula. I can't wait to show this to my kids they would get a kick out of it. I know that there are a lot of animal lovers out there but spiders do what they do and so do hawks, and bears, and mountain lions. They don't have the luxury of eating at a restaurant with a knife and fork. Hey it is the circle of life. Thanks for sharing this!!
