Cool Christoval critters

While I was visiting with Cathy Brown at the Hummer House, James sent me a text. When I saw the tarantula photo, I excused myself for a few minutes and RAN out to see him. Naturally, I had to get a photo of this handsome fellow crawling on an outside window of her home. He's likely a Texas brown (Aphonopelma hentzi) but hard to know for sure.

This giant mayfly (Hexagenia limbata) landed on my arm. And below is a firefly (Pleotomus pallens) that I found outside our cottage door.
