She’s got legs (eight of them)

Tarantula 2 That Bill Westphal strikes again — found this tarantula (4 in. from tip to tip) crawling around.  RIght now, she (or he) is in a Tupperware container and will likely go back into the woods (they’re an important part of the ecosystem, gettin’ rid of those bugs), but notice that there is yet another Altadena creature to look out for.

I took our new found friend up to Chaney Trail and set him free this Monday morning. I knudged him out of his home for the last 3 days. He looked back, took a deep breath, and then headed off into the big cruel world.

It was a tearful moment.

Hey Bill,
not to worry, I think your tarantula showed up on our front doorstep
last night! (Chaney Trail home) It looked lonely, but found its way
back to our cactus area……

We also found a very large tarantula in our yard, two days ago (on Risinghill in the Meadows). He wandered away on his own that night.
