Big Red Spider

YEEEECCH!

This is what we found in our kitchen this morning. Then ANOTHER one joined my wife in the shower! Thankfully, my brave daughter, in the pursuit of 2 cents (a penny per bug, doubled for danger) got the central vacuum and sucked it up. It was still yucky. We had to find out what it was and found the information here that it's a Badge (Huntsman) Spider. It's not supposed to have a bad bite, but others in its family do so I'll avoid that. It also got aggravated when it realized death was near and it reared up on its hind legs flailing the front ones in the air. Thankfully the forces of truth and justice prevailed and she went away with a clatter along the tube of the vacuum!
