I was out digging a hole in the garden the other day and when I used my hand to help move some soil something grabbed my finger. I knocked it off, then looked at it. I took at pic of it, then realized it was probably injured when I was digging with the shovel. It has a lot of legs...could it be a small Tarantula? I feel so bad! Actually, I like Tarantulas, although I seldom see any...and it probably didn't make it. I left it in the shade near my big rosemary bush.
