The Giant Tarantula, he has an uncredited early role as the jet fighter pilot who destroys the spider with napalm.

If you see tarantulas please don’t kill them. They’re harmless to humans. They will bite if you taunt them enough and you’re dumb enough to let them crawl on you, but their bites contain no venom, unlike all other spiders. I’ve seen them here in so California in the wild. They’re really cool. I’m serious, don’t kill them, just let them do their thing and they won’t harm you.

I was in a mtg in Ft Eorth, TX and the guy next to me why I lived in a cold state like Iowa. I told him I would ask him a question and his answer would explain why.
Do you have Orkin on speed dial and he said, yes, everyone does. I said I Don’t.
He then showed me a picture of a scorpion on his white living room carpet.

We would see 1000s of them rolling across the road (after we passed over them with our cars) for miles in Texas, right before summer rains.

While in the Army, I was first stationed on Flamenco island off the coast of Panama. One morning, I found a big land crab in one of my boots. Scared the crap out of me.....LOL!

That was one of the better B-movies. Plus it had Clint Eastwood dropping napalm.
