ANOTHER TEXAS MONSTER

They have more than snakes in Donnie and Linda's neighborhood.  Their neighbors Betty and Gene had this big fella crawling around on their property.
Betty said:
"Guess you heard the rattlesnake tale by now. Along related lines, Gene and I spied this critter last week en route to the mailbox prompting the eternal question, why did the Tarantula cross the road?


We suppose to avoid the rattlesnake. Anyway, these suckers can leap and run at breakneck speed...even across the irregular, sharp surface of our newly graveled community roadway. A handy trait in snake country.  So, being the adventurous type, I took the photo option and snapped multiple images before our little Aphonopelma Hentzi, or Texas Brown Tarantala, disappeared into the cedar breaks nearby."
