Not Cool

The Mister found this spider in our bathroom. It's a Bold Jumping Spider.

As you can tell by the scale, the spider is approximately 600 meters long. (Ha! Actually, that's part of a topographical map in the background.)



According to a field guide we have, Bold Jumping Spiders have elaborate courtship rituals that you can stimulate by holding a mirror in front of one. Fucking narcissists! Too bad we didn't know this before the Mister shook him out in the yard. That would have been interesting to see.

If I had found that spider I'd be in a padded room right now.

My husband is fucking terrified of spiders. He saw one of the ceiling, and I dismissed it as him being a pussy until he got dressed and decided he'd sleep in the car. I got it outside and then had to retrieve him from the car. If he'd seen that spider, I'd have had to revive him from a dead faint. He has a true phobia.
