Ants stretch when they wake up. They also appear to yawn in a very human manner before taking up the tasks of the day.
Tarantulas are poisonous, but the concentration of the venom in those found in North America is low enough that they're usually not a threat to human life. In fact, some people keep them as pets.

Btw, do you know that: the tarantula spends most of its life within its burrow, which is an 18-inch vertical hole with an inch-wide opening. When male tarantulas are between the ages of 5 to 7 years, they leave the burrow in search of a female, usually in the early fall. This migration actually signals the end of their life cycle. The males mate with as many females as they can, and then they die around mid-November <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />.
