TARANTULAS! Not in horror films but on the road!

I have a snake phobia. Steve has a spider phobia. One day while bicycling ahead of Steve, I saw this hairy guy trying to crawl across the road. I set my bike down on the shoulder, put my sweatshirt over the tarantula so that I would not lose him, and directed traffic around my "package". When Steve finally caught up to me and wondering what in the heck was I doing, I told him, "Come here, lttle buddy. I have a surprise for you." At that exact moment, a semi roared by and blew my sweatshirt up into the air and dramatically displayed "my catch!" As I snapped this photo, Steve was already thousands of yards ahead of me pedaling ferociously! What a great friend I was to be so thoughtful to share this with Steve in case he missed it! Steve slept up on a picnic table that night.
