We were living in a mesa area of California so there were quite a few........ We used to see them slither across sidewalks etc. at school. One of the boys thought it would be funny if he left one in my lift top desk drawer. I was of course unaware when I opened the desk to get a book out. There it was in all its hideousness. Large, hairy, and obnoxious. The kid who did it laughed, but the teacher was not amused as she sent him to the principal's office. The largest spider I saw after that was when I was in Africa on safari.......suspended in the largest web I have ever seen, it was sitting directly over our OPEN Land Rover. I did NOT care when the tracker assured me it only ate insects etc.
