Tarantella

Mum used to call these Huntsman spiders "Tarantulas" and she didn't like them.
I found the connection between the Tarantula and "Tarantella". see below.
Aunty Joan told me that she liked that poem so much that she named our cousin, Miranda, in honour of it.
The Miranda of Hilaire Belloc's "Tarantella" is Miranda Mackintosh whom Belloc met at an inn in the Pyrenean hamlet of Canranc on the River Aragon in 1909. The poem, written twenty years later, was a New Year's present to the Scottish Miranda. The holograph copy is inscribed: "For Miranda: New Year's 1929."
The tarantella is a dance (for two) that is supposed to be brought on by the intoxication induced by the sting of the tarantula, which is similar to that induced by falling in love.
