Woman Finds Frozen Tarantula in Backyard

Occurred on December 4, 2022 / Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Info from Licensor: "I let my dog out to use the bathroom and when I went to pick up some of his poops in the backyard I came across a frozen tarantula. Living in Western Canada, in a city that’s super north, the main questions were, where did this tarantula come from? Was it a pet that escaped or was released? Was an invasive species that was taking over? Was it attempting to get into my house before it froze? There were so many unanswered questions. After lots of speculation, and comments about the guitar spatula I used to pick up the tarantula, I asked my upstairs neighbor if they had a tarantula and they informed me their son must’ve thrown the remains of their tarantula, which had passed over a week ago, over their balcony railing. Concluding the mystery of where the tarantula came from."
