keep in their holes during the day
and forage tor insects during the
night. The mouth is near the center
of the body, near the ground, and it
cannot bite unless it springs upon
you. The tarantula is much
abused, inotfensive spider, that at
tends to its own business. The last
remark might apply as well to the
ratLlesnake, whose motto is given as
Don't tread on me-" All beasts and
reptiles are harmless towards those
