I think we all can empathize with this cricket. My boss's office is like this trapdoor spider's spidey-hole.

Couple points to make: 1) I really hope the snake's friends don't see him hanging there. That's embarrassing. It's one thing to be caught by a mammal or a bird or a tire tread. But a spider? 2) That spider lady has earned life-time bragging rights. Photo source: The West Virginia Blogger Text source: he...
