    Little Miss Muffet? If that was a real spider I don't think Gertie would be there!

    It could be a tarantula. They are mostly harmless.

      'mostly' hmmm. I'm not afraid of spiders (actually I like them killing annoying flies) but with one as big as shown on the postcard I wouldn't take any risk.

    That's a big spider! From what I've read, a tarantula's bite is like a bee sting. Back in 1995 my husband and I were moving into an apartment and we had a surprise guest. Apparently the previous tenants had left their pet tarantula and he was hiding under the refrigerator. Thankfully I spotted him on the day we moved in and we called the maintenance man to come and remove him. Can't imagine how I would have reacted if I had stepped on him during the night or if he had crawled on me while I slept!

      You won't hit the snooze button at your alarm when you wake up in the morning and a tarantula is staring at you from up close.

    I'm so glad I spotted him on the first day. If I'd encountered that tarantula at any time night or day, I'm sure I would have screamed and then passed out on the spot. :)
