We had a hobo spider found in Grande Cache--just 150 km to the west of us. Must have come in by truck hauling food from California (we get lots of it from there). Surprised us here in Alberta where the most dangerous things we have are rattlesnakes in the south, ticks that carry Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever to the west, ticks that carry Lyme disease all over, deer mice that carry parvovirus, and politicians that carry our tax dollars, usually off.
