    Oi. Bleecker. You're not going to freak me out with something fuzzy dozing in a box. It's those large, nimble, athletic ones running around on my floor I don't like.

    I'll catch the small ones with DoW's method, except glass first, then paper under, then pick up and throw outside, but those big fast ones... *shudder*

    That is the molted skin of a pet tarantula i used to have. She molted out of it because it was too small. I posed and mounted the discarded skin in a box. After she wriggled out of it all damp and soft like a newborn babe, she expanded to a much larger size. ;D

    Looks like it's freaking Ruby out anyway.

    Lisa, I'm not normally skittish around bugs, but that picture is freaking me out.

    Very quiet here today on TD.
    Yep, large hairy spiders are a bit scarey.
    I do LOVE all animals and rarely kill bugs (save them from the cats)--but I would probably freak out if I saw that!
    Snakes are another creater that I am very "un-fond" of. The black racers we get in the yard are OK, but I would rather watch from "a far"!
    Not much else freaks me out.

    Here's my li'l buddy.



    He/she lives in my garage (no idea how to tell which). Been there a couple of months now. Sometimes on top of the blanket, sometimes tucked into it (so cute!), sometimes out and about I don't know where. I can't say that I've noticed any less mouse activity, but I hope the snake is deterring them. We did put the shop towels right next to the snake's blanket and the mice have left them alone, at least.
