Eight Legs

I'll admit it. I don't like bugs. I squish them. Last week I headed down to Maricopa to retrieve some items from a storage unit. I opened up the door to the 5x5 unit and discovered a rather large spider. The shape was odd and I hadn't seen anything like it before. From a (relatively) safe distance, I got closer, and closer, then noticed triangles on the back. Red triangles. Funny, those red triangles are connected by a . . wait. . . an HOURGLASS. Oh yes, friends, my first poisonous experience in AZ. Backing away, wiping the tears of fear streaming down my face, I realized that this was a turning point in my Arizona experience. I looked death in the face - but was too scared to squish it.
