Moni was walking into the kitchen the other night when she was nearly attached and dragged off by this interloper.

Ever had something uglier than a bloodhound which didn't get enough sleep, stake its claim to your home?

Well, here it is!

Not too sure if its a spider, beetle or something the dogs dug up, but its BIG!

Any ideas? Two suggestions so far are some type of beetle.....? and a scorpion spider.....suggestions welcome!

By the way, we showed it the door...forcibly!

Yikes! That is frightening looking. I almost fell off my chair when I clicked and enlarged the picture. The joys of living in the tropics...
By the way, how big was this thing?
