That looks very much like the one I saw. I did not notice dimples or lack of dimples at the time though. And yes, I am in the east.

Keep him as a pet what are you fuckin nuts?????

Oddly enough if I find a rattlesnake I can deal with that even though it will try to kill me too. The difference is the size. I can worth with a snake. I grew up with Black Widows and Western Diamondbacks my whole life. I DON'T like small little fuckers that can be deadly and can get anywhere. Snakes.... ehhh I can get a rattlesnake into something and let him loose. He's not lookin for a fight and neither am I so those I relocate.... far far away.

I see so many people freaking out about Tarantulas here and i'm like..... they're fucking harmless and you're just weirded out by their size. I have no problem with those jerk asses either.

for me, it's more about proportions than size. I don't like long skinny-legged things. Tarantulas don't bother me at all. I fucking love huge caterpillars and moths. Mantises are awesome. Dragonflies are interesting. There aren't really any big beetles around here except June Bugs. No problem with those either. But stuff like house centipedes, daddy long legs and crane flies? I do not like those. I generally try not to kill them if I can avoid it and I have gotten better about that over the years, but I had a phobia of them as a kid (and of house centipedes even as an adult because I didn't see one until I was in my late 20s or early 30s and I didn't know what it was until a bit later).

Also giant ichneumon wasp. Look that shit up (the females specifically). Literal fuckin eldritch horror monster and they are big fuckers too. I had a run in with one at work once, same place as the fake black widow, and it was not fun. What I didn't know though is that ichneumon wasps can't sting. They're harmless too. They're angry assholes if you trap them, but the worst they can do is just bite and the larger caterpillars that I really like have larger and stronger mandibles/jaws. Still, in appearance, they are nightmare fuel to me. I'm just glad I know they're harmless now so I don't have to go into panic mode if I encounter another one.
