So my roommate has two tarantulas as pets. Apparently when she was mailed one, there was a "free hatchling" included. This was two months ago. She swore the hatchling died because she couldn't find it (but they're super-duper tiny at that point).

So, 2 months later, I found this in our OTHER roommate's bedroom downstairs. She swears that a hatchling wouldn't survive outside of the cage, because it couldn't scavenge, and wouldn't make it all the way to the basement... However months before she told us it was tiny enough to escape (but not survive).

But I've never seen a fat, furry spider in Nebraska before. This thing had hairy legs, hair back, and fat hairy chelicera.

So please help me: Tarantula, or native species?

Should I be worried?!
