A house spider, the size of a grain, hangs from its web in this photo taken in Zamboanga City. Many Filipinos are now resorting to keeping tarantulas as pets. The large, hairy, chiefly tropical spiders of the family Theraphosidae, sell between P1,000 to as high as P2,000 each. Tarantulas are capable of inflicting a painful, but not seriously poisonous bite. (Zamboanga Journal)
