Outline:
Circulating message claims that an attached image depicts a huge “Angolan Witch Spider” photographed on the side of a house in Texas.
Brief Analysis:
Relax! The huge spider shown in the image is fake. The image was created in Photoshop by incorporating a photograph of a normal sized spider into a second photograph of a house wall. The image was created by artist and musician Paul Santa Maria. Paul posted it on his Facebook page just for fun but removed it soon after. By that time, however, the image had escaped into cyberspace and started circulating virally.
Example:
No it is no painting. it’s a new Spider call the Angolan Witch spider. they migrated from South America. they primarily eat dogs and cats In Texas this abnormally large spider was found on the side of this home. It took several gun shots to kill it…. I would literally faint if I saw a spider this BIG.
