This is a paperweight from my desk of a tarantula, (Genus Aphonopelma), trapped in a half-sphere of lucite.
Tarantulas are the largest American spider, who bite only when annoyed. The bite is painful, but not dangerous.
Feel free to share something from your desk, if you like. If you don't, well that's cool too ;-)

can u sic that lil thing on some Libss?..lol..HAPPY NEW YEAR SWEETIE!:)
This brings back memories of a biology class when the professor would come in with various snakes around his neck.
One day he came in with a tarantula and i swear that thing returned his strokes with real affection. I've had warm feelings for snakes and tarantulas ever since that class.
Took a picture of one in Arkansas. It was as wide as the yellow stripe on the highway
We had two tarantula in a glass aquarium for time, yes living. The first week they were there, I could hardly sleep. Spiders are not my favorite creatures.
Woman Honor Thyself: I'll love too, but it's stuck in lucite. Maybe I can conjure up some living spiders to help ;-)
Jan: I love snakes and amphibians, but I have only once petted a tarantula and it wasn't the most pleasant of experiences.
I guess I keep this spidey paperweight to help me shake my fear of spiders.
Chuck: They can get mighty big. As a child I remember my grandfather stomping on one and the legs sticking out way beyond his boot.
Nothing like lucite to keep scary creatures under control.
Ananda Girl: I admire spiders from afar, but when they get into my personal space, they get stomped.
There was one who lived in our mailbox and I saw her everyday when I went to get the mail. She would scurry up her web and into the corner of her mailbox when I showed up. Then one day I didn't see Charlotte (yes, I named her. Doesn't everyone name spiders that they see everyday?) I didn't see her for a few days and I thought she had died or had abandoned her web.
Anyway, life goes on, so on this particular day I picked up the mail and I was looking through it when I saw Charlotte ON MY HAND!
Mr. Cube, who was at the window
and saw the whole incident, turned to our daughters and told them that their mother had just freaked out at the end of the driveway.
I can only hope none of my neighbors saw me spaz out, but it ended up being Charlotte's last day on Earth.
RightKlik: If only we had enough lucite to keep Congress under control ;-)
is that your hand?
-lee
Lee: Yes, that is my hand.
There is a pair of reading glasses on nearly every desk or other surface in the house, but do you think I can find a pair when they're really needed?
Yes, I've found them atop my head...
You mean youre not really a cube?
-lee
Lee: :-)
Nanc: I have the same problem.
'Round these parts we ain't got tarantulas. We have wolf spiders. They aren't as big as tarantulas, but they make up for it by wearing a lot of leather and carrying knives.
Oh, and I hate to dispute you at your own blog, but as far as I'm concerned, painful IS dangerous. ;)
