Name That Spider October 8, 2007

Posted by carpebanana in : Name That... , trackback

We had an ugly spider (OK, there is no other kind) in the house the other day. Miss Language took some photos but he wasn’t cooperating so the best she got was this, as she gave him his freedom on the front porch:

spidey

I wondered what he is, but it took a few days to figure out why his little yellow triangle bothered me, this is it: we have been having a Star Trek fest and next up for watching was Gamesters of Triskelion, so, natch, his bright yellow triangle put me in mind of the battlefield:

triskelion

yes, the very battle field that has a strong resemblance to the radioactive danger sign:

red alert!!  red alert!!

No wonder the spider needed to go.

You could have named it George.
I’m impressed by your level of self-control. I’d have squished George beyond recognition. Probably while the children screamed and hollered about the big ugly bug. “What, this?” I’d reply, “It’s just George.” *Squish*
