They were hiding out in the shower. What perverts.

About a month ago, maybe even a month-and-a-half ago, my mom trapped a spider in a glass jar along with its--I don't know--its companion. The companion spider stopped moving soon after, but the bigger one is still alive. Since the jar has a twist-on lid and there's nothing but the other spider in there, I kind of expected it to die pretty quickly. But apparently this one is a tough guy. It continues to intimidate my mom with its round, quivering abdomen.



My mom is absolutely terrified of it--its the biggest one she's ever seen in the house--, but I think I'll set it free the next time I'm back in Rockport. ( +6 more photos. )
