World's oldest spider dies aged 43

[woodsprite]

2. I'm both terrified and fascinated by spiders.

I live in Delaware and my daughter saw a huge ass trap door spider by the corner of our house when she took the dog outside one summer night last year. She took some pics of it. No mistaking what it was. I was already in bed and didn’t get up to go see it. Haven’t seen it since.

Guess that article gives me some hope (or not) that it’s still around here some place. On the other hand, maybe it was a male out celebrating his 42nd birthday.
