“All I wanted was a snack," 19-year-old Hannah Dafferner told Fox 5 San Diego.

Dafferner first spotted the the spider, but didn't think it was real initially.

“It didn’t move at first. I thought my sister put a Halloween decoration there or something. Then it moved its leg. I screamed bloody murder."

The tarantula is described as being a three to four inch male.

After the initial shock, Hannah's father came to the rescue, using a pitcher to capture the spider.

My married grandson has a snake.
When he was younger and at home , one time it got out of the aquarium and scared me to death. I told him I would NOT go over there again unless that was OUTSIDE!

Simple rule of being inside my house...
No legs, you die
Two legs uninvited, you will probably die
Four legs, depends on attitude but probably get released
More than four legs, you die
Outside the house it's live and let live; unless your attitude demands that you die.

This is the rule in my family, almost word for word. We are somewhat more stern about uninvited four-leggers. But unacceptability is basically in the leg count. Thus there are spiders that might be tolerated if they discouraged ants or beetles, but millipedes are intolerable no matter how many spiders they might kill.
We also have a special rule about winged creatures: wings count as legs.

I wasn’t referring to you. Reference was to Fox News.

Yes, but they have sections on their site for other stuff besides serious news. It’s not like it was mixed in with it.

Snake, spider, and other reptile/insect ‘aficionados’ may find this a little stern, but my house, my rules.


Clever ;)
