is it ok to post about other little arthropod friends itt? they get a bad rap but im a big fan of house centipedes, they're like lil housecats (fast ambush predator, loves warmth, spends significant time grooming itself, free pest control) also they use their own legs to lasso bugs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAheSfKEbHAquote:After dining, centipedes clean themselves. They have a grooming structure near the mouth. It’s a groove covered with hairs through which antennae and legs can be passed to remove dust and dirt. They clean their appendages from the base to the tip in a meticulous and unchanging order, starting with the antenna then legs on one side of the body, from front to back. After one side is done, they do the other. And they keep track; if interrupted while grooming, the centipede resumes where it left off. If a leg is missing, the centipede will try to clean it when its turn comes.

Spiders are rad My boyfriend's 7 year old had to write a report on creepy crawlers and he chose spiders. He had to write a second report on Canadian animals and chose spiders. I hope he gets to do favorite animal next and go for the spider trifecta.

Spiders hold many secrets that science has yet to recognize. I myself like to go on spider safaris in the night with a flashlight or IR camera and let me tell you they are doing weird poo poo even in your own backyard. Like this one dude, looking kinda like a house spider but a bit hairy and with thicker, shiny legs, sitting on a wall and wiggling its butt and body from side to side like a cat preparing to jump at something. What are you doing little dude? No one knows, it's an unheard of behavior from a spider that probably doesn't exist. So get out there and check out those weird guys, who knows what you will see.

Not a huge fan of house spiders, especially the ones with tiny bodies and big fuckoff legs that sort of clumsily amble towards you but I understand we why need them and I appreciate the job they do for us humans. I love Tarantulas though, my ex-housemate had a Chilean Rosehair and I used to let it sit on my head whenever I was drunk. We used to have unsuspecting houseguests come over and do shitloads of ketamine then we'd get her spider out and freak them out with it.

Remember that movie where the guy's girlfriend randomly turns into a huge spider at the end? I'm sure it was some allegory bullshit but I prefer to think it was more of a Meet the Applegates situation.

Harvestmen, or "daddy longlegs" as they're known scientifically, aren't spiders and they don't have fangs or even silk glands. But they are spider adjacent.

I always used to catch spiders and let them go outside, but I read somewhere that they can't adapt quickly to temperature changes and they might die. So, now I just pretend to set them free outside but in reality I just relocate them to a quieter part of the house.

It sounds like another variation of "they're adapted to indoors." I don't think it's true. Some indoor spiders are like cave spiders, adapted to scarce food and water, but if you find a wolf spider or something inside you can just take it out.

Children of Time is a good sci fi book about a civilization of spiders. My favorite spiders are the little jumpy bois that I find on my back steps all summer.

naem posted:it took nature a really long time to evolve jaws for some reason- early fish were pretty much worms that swam with an open mouth and giant scorpion like creatures ruled the oceans and also were among the first to crawl onto land. Hey, when the only tool you have is legs, every problem looks like a ... thing that you messily devour by tearing it apart with your horrifying leg-mouth.
