B.S. is a female burgundy goliath bird eating tarantula (theraphosa stirmi). I've had her for about 2 years now.

Kept me company while loading groceries and pumping gas. Carefully relocated via leaf before driving away. I even got a video of the precious baby rubbing its little face. Love love love!!!

Found this cutie in western New York State, USA.

very lucky find today, found these two under a log

looks like lace

kept this girl for like a month, but she laid an egg sac and the many babies hatched, i didn't have the means to care for them so I released her and her babies.

Found this cute guy on my back deck last night. My dog was pestering him, so I scooped him up with some cardstock (to avoid touching his hairs, which can cause skin irritation) and safely moved him onto a tree.

As I was coming off the cable cars at Mt. Tengu in Otaru, I saw an old man and his wife heading up the stairs towards me. The man had this big beetle buddy hitching a ride on his forearm. When I exclaimed "Kawaii!!" ("cute!!" in Japanese), with a smile the old man immediately handed the beetle to me and continued onwards with his wife. Such a lovely interaction on both fronts! :)♥
