Description
Here's to Shelob the cat face spider.They live only a season and die after they lay their eggs.
Completely harmless to humans, timid, and well....its the first spider I'd ever call cute.
I got to hold it and as it crawled timidly across my hand she would pause, give her abdomen a little shake as she lay down an anchor line so she wouldn't fall and then commence her little stroll. Cutest thing I've ever seen a spider do, do a booty jig. XD
Oh, I'm sure every one has felt their skin tingle and maybe even their nerves tingle when something creeped them out. But when that spider first crawled onto my hand (the hand of an aracniphobe) I felt my BONES tingle. Weirdest sensation EVER!
She got huge and then one day she left behind two little sacks of eggs and disappeared. We were very sad to see her go, but she sure ate well and we had fun holding her. As scared of spiders as I am, I'm glad I held her before she died.
*sniffle*

She was huge! But a very mellow arachnid. My dad has been handling them since he was 6. Best spider for your garden, they are excellent hunters. We were feeding her big grass hoppers by the end.
Holy COW!, like, their webs are so strong! you hear it go: *twink* when it snaps and it is hard to snap!
