He's dead now. He was as big as my hand, but now he fits in a little handmade tissue coffin.

Goodbye friend.

Did you at least give him a drink before he died? Woulda been awfully rude if ya didn't.

death by shotgun?

The text loaded before the image and I got sad for a second because there was no context. I thought like your hamster died or something.

Then I saw the spider and just about shat myself.

RIP Camel/Tarantula/Some Other Huge Spider #202,453,195.

You will be missed.

what spider is that
how did it even get in your house

McJob · February 12, 2016, 03:01:15 AM

It's tough to say which kind of spider it is exactly, but the length and the pattern of its legs match that of either a White-Tailed Spider or a Black-House Spider. The set set of front legs look a little too long to be a black-house spider, however.

If it wasn't for the feelers at the front (which I don't believe this spider had), I would have guessed a Wolf Spider.

but how did you kill it without burning down your house

I find it very humorous (no offense intended) that you list spider names as if they're guests at a banquet.

I meant camel as in like camel spiders.

It had the passing resemblance of one.
