I was walking from the Meeting room to the library at the Friends School when I looked down and saw an old rusty reddish screw-like thing. I thought maybe it was an old piece of a plastic something so I bent down to pick it up and put it in the trash. That's when I discovered it was moving and was alive! I'd give this caterpillar First Prize for the ugliest caterpillar!
Shortly after arriving at our neighbors' house for Game Night, and after taking off my rain and jacket and leaving them outside in their protected open-air entryway, their polite daughter welcomed me in and, as always, started jabbering away in her non-confrontational voice. Little did I realize what she was jabbering away about until she calmly pointed back the way I'd come to the spider that I almost stepped on! Yup, this was about a food away from my, and their, shoes and their front door - a baby tarantula. Good thing they're harmless!
