Me and my cousin were biking across town and my cousin decides to take a drink of water... I look down and there seems to be a huge fake orange HAIRY spider, I bend down to pick it up and it moves!!! IT IS REAL!!... I Start screeming and this lady comes out of a house near it and asks whats wrong I told her and she picks up a board and beats the heck out of it! She Said Never to let them live because they are highly toxic.. I asked her what kind of spider it was and she said it lives around tomato plants? Anyone have any Idea about a 1 1/2 inch very hairy orange tomato spider? She Said she didn't know what kind of spider it was. I didnt have my camera at the time, so no picture sorry

Whatever it was, it wasn't dangerous. The only truly dangerous spider in Idaho would be a black widow spider.

Thanks, I think that lady was crazy, I did some research and it turns out it was a baby orange baboon tarantula!
