Field Notes

Description:

This guy wandered into our camp site and made me scream like a little kid! Lol. I've lived in Oklahoma my entire life, and this is probably the biggest tarantula I've ever seen. I tried putting my foot beside him, for size comparison, but he took off running super fast and made me scream again. I think I scared him as bad as he scared me. Lol
