#1 means “first critter of the summer,” not “first ever.”
We all know that, right?
So, we found this thing in our garage.
This nasty, hairy, fang-y thing.
For reference, the cardboard that it’s on is from a case of beer.
Because we’re so klassy, Steve used the beer divider to pick up this almost dead thing.
The diameter of this thing is roughly as large as a can of beer.
And apparently it’s a camel spider.
You may have seen this infamous spider before:
You know, I can handle a lot of things.
Snakes, scorpions, …
but seriously?
Give me a reason that this thing needs a place on earth.
Because it’s just wrong.
Wrong.

AHHHHHHHHHHH! Do you hear me screaming all the way from the east coast? Almost dead?!?! It’s kind of a cross between a spider, scorpian and beast. Hope you had your zoom lens on to take that shot.

OMG I didn’t know it was possible for creatures like THAT to live near people. Gah.

“That’s disgusting!” just came from my mouth!
That is JUST NOT NORMAL.. What use does a “Camel Spider” have on this earth? How did it die? Did the dogs get it? Are they still alive and feeling ok? Did Jack try to collect it as a pet? Because if he did, this is the time to get him professional help. I get grossed out by earwigs – (but only because my mom told me they crawl in your ears at night time) and I believed her. And they are only teeny tiny things but they have pinchers – anything with pinchers DO NOT DESERVE TO BE HERE on this earth.
Well, except for lobsters after they are cooked, because they are delicious.
What is it with your house? Every creature on Earth has visited, even things I didn’t realize resided in AZ or even this continent.
the two snakes living in a five gallon bucket with a flimsy board on the top of it ten steps away from this computer on the other side of the driveway suddenly do not seem so bad to me. At. All.
Note To Self: If ever in Arizona, invite Becca and family to the hotel. Do not, under any circumstance visit her home because of enormous bugs that would make me drop poopy straight down my leg. Seriously, Me.

I’m thinking you need to check the floors every time you get up and walk around in the night… and check inside your shoes, your clothes, your towels.. before you get dressed or dry off after a shower. Because if one of those things crawled inside my slipper and I slipped my foot inside…. that would be bad. I might not survive such an experience. =/
