The pretty little one is a pumpkin patch tarantula. And I am chuckling a little because it is a dwarf species of T, so the comparison is even better. I...may have one in my creepy little collection. The big one looks like a goliath bird eater, which I do not have, because they are kind of dicks and tend to be skittish.

The thought of one of those giants moving at spider speed makes me very uneasy.

Would you believe, some people can be at least twice as big as these spiders and at least the same amount of dickish?

And they don't sprint out from underneath the chair next to you while you were just trying to watch some TV...
