I really hope these things live in a different hemisphere than I do
Don't worry, it lives in Australia (because of course it would)
Oh is that why some trees hurt so much?
Or just another reason why a tree might hurt so much?
Are they even trees or just more spiders?
Hundrends of documented parasites who can literally eat us from the inside, but no ...spiders are the fucking problem.
I think spiders are cool. I also have a completely irrational fear of them. I don't understand it, I don't have any clue where it came from, but spiders cause me to feel fear in a way unlike anything else in this world. I took it completely in stride when a doctor told me I "might not be ok" while looking at my xrays after a car accident in if I see a spider crawling across the bathroom floor while I'm pooping I'll break out in cold sweats. I like to think that I'm a pretty rational person so this drives me crazy.
I will always be at at your side in this journey of fear of spiders.
More pixels
And here's more pixels of the joke, if that's your thing
Don't worry, they're only 5-9 mm big and are generally chill
Mangos for scale
That's about 5-9 mm too much.
When you encounter things like this, God has abandoned you.
Fire hasn't, though. Fire has no fickle loyalties. All can burn.
Praise Prometheus!
At least one person will come away from reading this post with a new sexual fetish.
No fetish, but I wanna pat it.
Do you think it likes chin scratches? Does it have a chin? Can I stack them for convenience?
A 2 second Google search of "so spiders have chins?" has revealed that sadly they do not
Unfortunately, we’re the only ones with true chins, but I still scratch my cat’s undermouth area and call it a chin.
it's me hello i want to pretend to be a stick
Down. Bad.
wraps around stick
Reach Around Spider was rejected as a possible name.
This spider has found one trick that makes humans very angry
Clickbait spider! Enragement tracking functions, activate!
Unacceptable.
I'm so glad I'm not a tiny bug.
Nature’s Rizla.
Cute little guy
This shit is the consequence of sin yo.
Amazing powers of camouflage and body manipulation are the consequences of sin? I best get sinning like a mother fucker then!
Imagine you're climbing a tree and you get to the top and grab this mfer
Hopefully at that point it continues its charade as a stick! :-P
This shit needs to stay in movies
Are we gonna talk about the "tree limbs"?
What about it? Except the surprise sentient bark of course.
BRB, burning down every tree within 50 miles.
Satan has worked his magic during creation when god had his back turned, and now we suffer from it
