Tiny Chilean Tarantula Found in UK Grapes

con video!

A tiny Chilean tarantula was found cavorting amongst the grapes of his homeland in Suffolk as a father was just about to hand the bunch to his four-year-old son. Quick thinking dad captured the tarantula, whose name is Antonio Alberto Diaz-Apodaca, and scooted him off to the vet. He is now at a pet shop, where he is resting comfortably. "It's just a small Chilean Tarantula with a lovely black abdomen and pink zebra markings on the back," Colin White, of Abbey Aquatics and Reptiles, said.

Giiant Spider Web Engulfs Texas Park

you should see the size of the spider!

A sprawling 200 foot spider web has been spun in a park in a Wills Point, Texas park. "From what I'm hearing it could be a once-in-a-lifetime event," said Herbert A. "Joe" Pase, a Texas Forest Service entomologist. "It's very, very unusual." Experts are in disagreement as to how this web occurred, or even what sort of spiders spun it.
