That video is too funny! He needed a bigger bowl. :)

I have a tarantula colony in my yard - they have holes scattered all around, and every so often I see them out moving. They're fascinating and once I got over the shock that they were here and realized that they are quite delicate, I've enjoyed having them around. They eat insects, snails, cockroaches, small things like mice and probably some of the lizards in the yard. And when my kids were younger we'd do flashlight tours to find them in the evening. The kids would have friends over and ask to go see the spiders at night. Mom the naturalist can't refuse the possibility of creating more converts to the beauty and value of these spiders.
