Arizona blonde tarantula

I wished on a shooting star that I could walk arm and arm with a beautiful Blond. But not a blond with seven arms!!!

 

I found him hunkered down near my bird feeders. So I put my hand near him and he crawled up my arm and I thought to myself, "don't play with the wildlife."

 

Tarantulas are not aggressive and rarely bite. Their bite is similar to a bee sting. More dangerous are the hairs on his ventrum that he can send to your skin and cause severe itching. Those hairs in a predator's eye can be very serious.
