. . . . . . Danger. Spider alert again. . . . . . . We can go years without seeing one. Now we’ve seen two just a few weeks apart! Driving down a remote sandy track. There he was, just hanging out in the road. We had to drive around him when it was time to go on our way. I put my glasses down close to him for perspective. I guess he’s not quite as big as my head. These tarantulas are pretty calm. They aren’t aggressive to humans. Mostly they just want to be left alone to eat insects and maybe the occasional small bird or reptile.
