A NEW understanding of BIG!

SO this post will be SHORT and SWEET  (actually it is ANYTHING but sweet...)

The other day I posted a picture of a big (at least I thought it was at the time) spider that I killed on our porch...

In case you forgot what it looked like... here it is:

WELL...

I now have a NEW understanding of what BIG really is!  I call this picture...

WELCOME TO HAITI!

That was the tarantula that was on our door the other night... 

and that is Junior's hand holding a TINY little quarter a few inches in front of the HUGE eight legged arachnid (which actually makes the quarter look a little larger than it really is)...

I'm guessing he was about 8 inches in diameter!!! YIKES!

A welcome I would have preferred NOT to have... but certainly not the last time we will see one of these I'm sure!  

Just had to share our special moment with you :)
