So I finished washing dishes and had a pretty normal day... That is, until after I-Daddy (that's what I call my Grandfather) got home. So he got home, and then went outside to mow the lawn. I went to my room and was aimlessly browsing online, when I decided to check on Friedrich.
Freidrich is my pet spider... Well, not really... He made a humongous web on my bedroom window, and I'm too much of a wimp to go get it down. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, Friedrich is HUGE. He's a very large brown spider, and he looks absolutely terrifying! So anyways, I got used to him and I began to pretend that he was a "guard spider." I mean, c'mon, what burglar would break in with a giant spider on the window?? So anyways, I was going to check on him. I moved the curtain to the side, and looked in the corner where he always is. I jumped back! He had grown! He'd been huge the day before, but now he was absolutely GIANT!! Oh wait... Suddenly I noticed that Friedrich wasn't alone... He was in the corner, and this giant spider was an impostor! I realized what was going on, and I decided that I would have none of that going on in my window! Nope! So I made up my mind to convince I-Daddy to kill them.
Later on in the evening, I told I-Daddy what was going on and he said he would take care of it. He went outside and got the spider poison. I watched from my room as he sprayed the web where the spiders were with the insecticide. The large spider quickly scurried away when the poison touched it, but Freidrich didn't move... I realized then that he was already dead! I did some research... Female spiders are always bigger and smarter that their male counterparts... And so once they mate, the female murders the male!! Isn't that absolutely awful?!?!
So let me sum it up... Basically, Freidrich is in his web, minding his own business, eating bugs, guarding my window, when suddenly, a giant female of his species barges in on him! She proceeds to rape him and then murder him! She leaves his dead body there and takes over his home. Then she got sprayed with poison and ran away, and most likely died. RIP Friedrich...
After note: Friedrich's web and dead body are still in my window... Here's a photo...
Look in the left corner...Those long things are his massive legs... His body had kinda already mostly rotted away by the time I took this. And as you can see, he obviously didn't have to worry about running out of food...
