Bu...I know it's all the way around the world... But I'm pretty sure I got a photo of this spider's cousin in Haiti!<br />They have spiders just like these. I even have a photo of one with the eye glaring and all. <br />The first time I saw one was in an investigator's home. We were teaching this guy and I happened to look down at the bottom of a doorway a few feet away. My eye caught the biggest spider I had ever seen that wasn't a tarantula! Nastily unnerving. I looked back up at our investigator to tell him there was a huge spider there, and not a second later I looked back down and there was no sign of it anywhere! Gone in a split second!<br />I told this guy it was about 2 1/2 or 3" in diameter. He said it was just a baby and not to worry about them (sure) unless they are adults and showed me how big they can get... My eyes were wide open and I just wanted to tuck my pants into my socks right then.<br />I'm all about avoiding killing things as well... but there are a few exceptions for me where I'll even make a point to get them! - Wasps/yellow jackets, centipedes and some spiders... this guy would be on my list every time!
