The SPIDER Thread

Since Halloween is coming around, let's talk everything SPIDERS. Post anything about SPIDERS - videos, articles, pictures, whatever. Here's a video of a SPIDER catching and eating a bat:

Oh hell yeah spiders. I love spiders so much.

I am seriously considering getting a pet tarantula once I know for sure I've got a good place to put a terrarium.

Where the fuck is Ozbourne!

^THERE SHE IS.

Damn, I had hoped this would be about the investment and commodities trade service.

If it had, I would have been really disappointed. I came in here for arachnids.

Spiders are just misunderstood!

I like spiders to a degree, as long as they stay out of my clothes and bed. I once found a beetle walking around on the floor in my house. I flicked it into a corner and instantly a spider pounced on it and made dinner out of it. I approve of that.

That makes me almost want to stop squishing spiders. I'm a bit of an arachnaphobe.

Awwwwwwww.

Poor little misunderstood spider.

I never squish them. (I might kill one if it was like, a brown recluse or something and I was absolutely sure of this fact, but otherwise they get to live.) I prefer to let them do their own thing and chill in my room, though sometimes I usher them outside in a cup or on a piece of cardboard (usually a cup since it's easier if they're skitterish and a lot of them are). This is because my dad will not hesitate to step on them, same goes with our customers, so if they get into the main part of the shop (I live in kind of a big loft apartment over the antiques shop my family runs) they are doomed.

If I get a tarantula my dad is not allowed near it.

I found some juvenile black widows sitting on the outside wall of my school's daycare facility. Colorful little fellows, they are.

We're not so different from spiders after all.[1]

This is my favorite spider. We had them all over the place in Florida.

Ooh pretty spider. (Both of the pics recently posted are, second one kinda ninja'd me there.)

And I read that article earlier (was linked to it due to my spider obsession). Very cool.

Yay, spiders! I think they are the epitome of Creepy Awesome.

I do not like spiders, no siree.

Need to stop skittering across the floor towards me, they do.

<clutches Raid can>

I'll save you, spiders!

I don't like how they move, at all.

Wanna make me freak the fuck out?

Put me in a room with a spider that I can see.

I wouldn't freak out unless it was huge, THEN I would probably freak out.

I would squee.

Oh, come on, there's nothing to be scared of! They are just extremely poisonous and hateful, that's all.
