Spidah!
On return from dogwalk, I go out to take the trash cans down to the curb...and what do I spy? This handsome feller! (Spiders outside are handsome/lovely creatures unless they're crawling on our faces because we just walked into a giant web...)
There's a quarter there for size ref. Here's a larger pic for those interested
He's another male tarantula, similar to the one who tried to crawl into my back door a few years ago. Sodden and miserable, he was crawling on the wall next to the garbage cans. I'm a little surprised to see one out this late in the mating season. I felt a male-geeky kind of sympathy ("I feel yer pain, buddy!) and scooted him into a handy bug container. After a few pictures, I dropped him off on the south-facing hillside in my yard where he'll probably have better luck than his fellow geeks.
Oh, and after I did spider-duty, I found a live bee on my kitchen floor (around midnight). Very odd.
