Another spider

Another set of spider photos. This time, it's actually venomous! Found it inside one of the plastic buckets in the kids' sandbox. Put it inside a used Chinese food takeaway container.

According to Wikipedia
, the bites aren't fatal any more, and among adults are often just painful, but without major medical complications. Bad for little kids to be bit, though.

I went through **each** plastic sandbox toy before I let the kids play in the sandbox.

Holy Moly! Good for you for checking. Even if these critters became endangered, there won't be any cute plush stuffed animals made of them! Just not cuddly!
