Halloween is a time to celebrate creepy, crawly animals. This year, St. Louis scientists hope to inspire appreciation for Missouri’s largest spider: the tarantula.

@danthebugman I'm forever jealous to countries which naturally have their own tarantulas! I'd love to see these guys roam around in my garden. We only have rather puny ones lol
@chromatominna I have yet to see one in the wild, but I keep looking when I'm in areas where they occur.
