Morning y’all
A special thank you to nitram for ensuring I don’t sleep for a week
. . . . . Didja Know?
Recently discovered in the trees of Sri Lanka, the tiger spider is a giant tarantula the size
of a human face with a leg span up to 8” in diameter

With deforestation these beasts are moving out of the trees and setting up camp in villages.

Interesting. They're adapting in an effort to keep from becoming extinct. For their sake though, that doesn't seem to be such a great place.

They're pretty cool, actually. Spiders are fascinating! However, I sure wouldn't want to encounter one of those suckers in the wild - or, worse yet, in my home!

It'll get creepy when they acquire speech and you come across one that looks at you and says, in a deep voice, "Feed me."
