Is this a tarantula?

It was a baby (we think). The size I gave included the legs. In this picture (taken on a cell phone) it looks HUGE. But it wasn't as big as the tarantula's you see like on TV and stuff.

Yeah, some of the ladies were a bit panicked. But I was surprised by some of the people in my office that weren't afraid of it at all. Like the girl that took the picture. When I walked around the corner she was crouched down right in front of it trying to get it to smile for the picture! LOL

They are actually harmless to humans, so there wasn't anything to be afraid of. When it ran into the envelope you could hear the click of the legs on the paper. That was creepy!!

They can't/don't bite? I know all spiders aren't venomous, but I thought they could all bite. I get bitten all the time by spiders. I was outside after my husband mowed yesterday and within five minutes, was bitten. Nothing to worry about, true, but annoying nonetheless.

I'm more freaked out by them, not so much afraid that they'll hurt me.
