I too live in Arkansas. The only time they're seen is crossing the road, or by my head in my chair. They are very cool spiders.

I was imagining the word "tarantula" also, with the guessing game and location.

Had one o' those landed on MY arm, I would have literally screamed, flung my arm out, dislocated my shoulder, fallen against a corner of the nest box, hit my temple, passed out, experienced arrythmia, and the chickens would have eaten me over the next few days.

I can tell you this! If a freaking tarantula crawled across my wirst, foot or anyother part of my body unexpectedly there would have been another clean up job to take care of and it wouldnt have been the coop!!!!!!

I really wish I had not read all this - I hate spiders!

What a cool web site. (NOT FOR ONES WITH SPIDER FEARS) I am very partial to Yellow Argiope spiders myself. We had one years ago that lived out in the back field in Vancouver WA. It was a beautiful shade of brilliant yellow. I have to say that I don't allow spiders to sleep with me, but otherwise I am not inclined to harm them either, they have to great of a beneficial roll in the environment controlling other populations of insects. I also know that I like hairy spiders, and or tarantulas, better than smooth ones. Most of these little guys just want to be left alone.
