Camel spiders, of order Solifugae, are not actually spiders. Learn to loving tell the difference.

They're arachnids, but not spiders. A lot loving closer than ants.

spiders are pretty cool. in australia we gets lot of those huntsman cunts that just come for a loving chill in your house and you're like sup bro, and they stare at you for days.

eventually you have a gutful of their poo poo and you move them along by using a broom or you catch them. i don't kill them as they tend to kill all the other bugs and poo poo hanging around your place so i'm cool if that brother doesn't pay rent as long as he holds up his end of the bargain.

i only kill redback/black widow spiders. don't get funnel webs where i live but if we did they'd be dead fuckers.

Is this thread only for spiders or all arachnids?

Until I get an answer, say hello to mr. Redback. I've killed multiple of these in my garden despite them being poisonous as gently caress:

Trapdoor spiders are pretty rad:







They have weird dorsal plates on their abdomens, similar to scorpions, which suggests that they may be one of the oldest families of spiders that can be found in present day. They also possess beefy-looking chelicerae that they use to help burrow n' stuff.

Is there something written on their back plate? What do they use it for? Is it some kind of clan-tag? WTF?

More significantly, it's clearly made out of fake materials like you'd create a fishing fly. This one's completely on me, I'm copping to it for being a lazy copy-paste robot.
