He looks tiny.
Los Angeles is within the natural range for tarantulas though.

Is that what it is? I've been trying to figure it out.
It wasn't very big, I just in 10 years of living in L.A. have never had anything except the occasional tiny house spider in my place.

that would take bravery of the sort i do not yet possess, lol. best i can do is build up my courage for 10 minutes, wildly place some tupperware over it after missing the first couple times, and then run outside at the speed of light to drop it while screaming my head off.

A fun thing to think of. Most bathtub spiders are male, and they go looking for mates but have poor eyesight, and think the drain is a possible mate. So, as freaky as they can be, most of them are just horny little teens out for a shaggin

No, that's not a tarantula. Tarantulas are *WAY* bigger.
