I was using my flashlight to light my way home the other night. A good thing too, for it allowed me to narrowly escape stepping on a lil' fuzzy baby tarantula. I tried to take a photo of it, just for fun. I didn't have a quarter for a size comparizon, so I dropped a penny next to it, and tried to take a shot. But the spider kept skittering away from the penny, so I kept re-dropping it...finally I got this photo, where the spider and the penny are at least in the same shot.
Squee! So cute. I hope nothing ate 'em. The havelinas (there's a whole troop of them around this neighbourhood) regard young tarantulas as candy with legs.

Awesome Find there. A male Arizona Dwarf. Haven't seen one in years. They are a rare sighting!
AZ has 5 species of Dwarf T's, I have the Flagstaff Orange Dwarf my self. but I haven't been able to get my hands on a female AZ dwarf.
That male is as big as he will get. Lucky you!
