Oh lord, I hope some jerk who deals in illegal exotic animals doesn't decide to bring them into the country!

My worse nightmare, I hate spiders. And who was dumb enough to put their face next to that thing to check how big it was??

This is how they know the spider is as big as a person's face. Seems at Nat Geo photographer got a little too close!
