yeah so the other day i saw giant spider hanging from a power line and i was like "WTF that thing is huge!" so after i mowed the lawn i took a few shots at it trying to knock it down with a brook stick and got it down after about a million tries. afterwards i saw it crawling away, then i thought "Wait i have a cage full of Grasshoppers, i wanna see him eat them" so after a very dangerous attempt to catch him i finally managed to get him in the cage. after two days of being in there he ate the head off one of the biggest grasshoppers in there xD
i would take pics but the glare is really bad on the cage lol

Aren't brown recluse spiders about the size of a penny? They pack a big punch though.

Squish it.

Now that's just plain disturbing. Good thing these things aren't found in my area.

xD if you saw what it did to one of the grasshoppers i don't think you would want to let it out..
it took a grasshopper that was about 6 inches long and demolished it. if i were to measure it now it would be about 2.5 inches at least lol

i call them "mutant grasshoppers from my back yard"
seriously when you don't mow the lawn back there for 3 months you don't know what you will find
