It felt pretty good smushing it to paste and I sure did think of Shelob when I saw her!
I got a big blow-up chair for Matthew in the shape of Darth Maul...huge as a recliner. He left it out in the yard last summer and I hauled it in the shop and started blowing it back up, by mouth. Josh started shrieking "BACK WIDDA"! and sure 'nough...one was crawling away from the blow-up chair! Eek! It was small, about the size of a house spider, but had the very distinctive shiney oily look and red hourglass on the ventral abdomen!
