rarantula Not So Bad.

The terrible tarantula is said to be
more abused than abusive. II is not
aggressive upon man nor is IL often
intrusive even, although every old
miner and prospector has shaken one
out OF his boots or blankets in the
morning. and always the size OF a
saucer. II avoids the hot sunshine
and remains well down in its burrow
under the ground About sundown il
sallies forth and lies in waiting just
below the opening of the burrow. II
assumes this position whether II de-
sres food or wishes only to get a bit
of fresh air. II does not travel about
in quest of food, even when hungry,
but remains quietly in the attitude
described often for hours at a time
At the near approach OF caterpillar,
grasshopper, beetle or almost any
creature OF like size, other than its
enemy, the wasp, II rushes out and
seizes It, but rarely goes farther than
few inches from the opening. One
fair-sized insect a week is sufficient
to satisfy it's hunger because of its
inactive existence, while IL can live
several months without food, even
when most active, provided II has
water. In autumn the spider closes
the entrance with a crudely-spun web.
II Is then ready to pass the winter in
a semi-lethargic state, partaking OF no
food. In the spring IT digs its way
