A spider like Shirley
Posted by mayralovesbooks on January 16, 2008
The librarian looked all over the net and found this picture of a gal like Shirley. The librarian would like to thank http://hometown.aol.com/thevez2/species.html
for letting us show their picture until we can take one ourselves.

I was looking over the web - and i found your site.
I love the idea of you two spiders writing about what you see.
What do you eat?
How often do you feed?
Do you ever bite people?
Peace

Thanks for your comment, Eric. It reminds us that we need to correct the initial information on the blog, since now we are three spiders writing what we see.
The three of us eat live crickets of different sizes. Shirley, the baby in the library, eats pin-sized crickets while Sophie and I (Krista) eat middle-sized crickets. Even the librarian eats crickets! Just recently, a friendly teacher brought her a cricket covered in chocolate which she ate in front of amazed second-graders. We eat about a cricket a week, sometimes more, sometimes less.
And regarding your last question: Never! We haven’t ever bit another human! Humans in the library treat us well and love us, we would never hurt them. Plus, tarantulas don’t bite people - that’s just Hollywood fiction.
