Stupid Spider!

In ode to the season of creepy crawlies I had to show you this. Remember how I said Ian and Teagan did such a good job of decorating the backyard for Teagan's birthday? Well they stretched this fake spider web across the tree. It looked really cool. Although not exactly authentic. Teagan told me a few days ago that there was a real spider in the web. Well I mean he is six. I did sort of a "oh really honey" and didn't think about it again.


Well today I was looking out his bedroom window and yes there is a real spider in the web. I told Teagan and he basically said, I told you so. I went out to investigate with the camera. Yes a real spider and it's big! Ian got home while I was checking it out. Teagan and I swear it's a brown recluse. Ian doesn't think so. It's butt thing is shriveled up. Yes I said butt thing. I'm not the entomologist in the family. I have no idea what it's called. Teagan even got out his book of poisonous creatures and it looks totally like a brown recluse.


If it is a bad spider we did away with it before it could hurt anyone. Well actually it's own stupidity killed it. I mean really moving into a fake web and getting stuck. Really?!
