I went to Krogers on Thursday for sushi at lunchtime, via the overgrown path. Dialogue as I was leaving the store:Voice somewhere behind me: You have a giant spider on your back!
ittdgy™³²®©, reluctantly reaching the conclusion that said comment was in fact directed at my back: What?
Kroger employee: Dude! Seriously, you have a giant spider on your back!
The culprit turned out to be a Japanese beetle, who was kindly escorted outdoors by said employee. There were effing swarms of them on the path (and I do mean effing....anyone need a picture?). Seems kind of early, but it got very hot and humid around here after winter finally wore off.
Frankly, I wouldn't consider a spider the size of a Japanese beetle to be "giant", but your mileage may vary.
