Crazy Science Jobs #343: Goliath Bird Eating Spider Collector

“… fangs about as long as a cheetah’s claws, and a good deal sharper.”

WHY ARE YOU PICKING IT UP WITH YOUR HANDS? It’s a spider, that can eat birds (although it usually doesn’t).

Previously: C.S.J. #342, a completely insane person crawling into an active volcano with 40 mph lava flows.

By the way, these numbers are made up. There is no #1-341.
