Perfect!
An adult male Aphonopelma johnnycashi, one of 14 newly discovered species of tarantula found in the U.S. The males' jet-black appearance recalls the country musician Johnny Cash, who famously preferred to dress in black.

One Fall day a Tarantula was walking in my yard, and I let him(?) be, expecting to see him occasionally, later.
A few days later I remembered him, and the black widow in the garden shed, and looked into the shed.
Tarantula, with a walking leg-span of about 2 1/2 inches was wrapped up in the widow’s web.
Sad.

Others, like the tiny Aphonopelma atomicum, nestle themselves in silk-lined burrows near Nevada's nuclear test sites."When animals go bad, that's enough trouble; but when mutant military animals go bad, that's really special!"—Sci Fi Channel trailer.
