These guys/gals are just mad because they accidentally wandered onto me while I was outside, and now that they are inside, they can’t catch that glowing red thing.

Seriously, the tiny black and white jumping spiders around my area forget about me, the scary human, if I pull out a laser pointer for them to chase.

I used to fear spiders a great deal more, but over time I’ve grown to appreciate what they contribute to the local ecosystem, like that they eat flies, which I hate

my third grade class pet was a tarantula, and it was a pretty good arachnid ambassador, as it were. li’l Terry was pretty chill for spending all day around a bunch of curious kids

It's always a shame when the flies dont die right away and you have to flip em like stinky little flap jacks

Net-casting spiders are great.



The Rufous net casting spider is my favourite - here is an example of a male (with sweet speed stripes):

why do they do that? do they hunt the ants they mimic? I wouldn't have guessed that would work, ants aren't the most visual of animals.

They mimic ants that predators are afraid of, so they are less likely to be preyed upon.

I think I've seen this last one before. I suppose the camouflage is supposed to look like two ants fighting. The top end isn't an ants thorax and abdomen, it's a set of very large spider mandibles. When they open up it's as freaky looking as it sounds.

That’s their fault for putting them somewhere a bumbling human may walk through.

We are right to be scared of spiders since their bites hurt and are sometimes dangerous. That should make us leave them alone so that they can eat a bunch of bugs that bother us.

But we are capable of a higher level of thought, so we can also enjoy watching the ones we don’t hate.

I hate brown recluses because I’ve been bitten by them multiple times, since my old house has set empty for several years, so they were everywhere, and had to go on antibiotics every loving time. So any that are stupid enough to be spotted where I am now will die. Every other spider is welcomed, cause they will eat recluses or their corpses after I kill recluses.

I have a picture of my bathroom barn weaver spider eating one I pushed towards him when he was starving.

He’s a good boy. He hides every time he notices me, which is right and proper for a creepy looking but beneficial spider to do. He’s also taking up a hidey hole that used to be a recluse hidey hole.

I’m broke, so can’t buy my cats nice things. I think I’m making sure the spider is relaxed and happy because I don’t get to spoil my cats rights now.
