The Goliath Tarantula, Theraphosa blondi - the world's largest spider.
I was blowing on her with my rubber lens duster - and it worked, she lost it and released a cloud of stinging hair from her ass.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
