#🏠-general message

[finite coyote]

Oh nice, it was fast

[rough cliff]

Well, I'm here now

[finite coyote]

Hi

[rough cliff]

Hello

[finite coyote]

Now when I'll found a spider I will post the picture here

Less cute spider

The web is crazy

[sudden flint]

I found one took years ago

[finite coyote]

Yooo

It was in a vivarium ?

[sudden flint]

It wasn't that big, but I zoomed in a lot
And I didn't wanna disturb it by putting my hand close to it ^^

No, in a peat bog

We were on a little school trip to learn about soils

[finite coyote]

Biggest spider I saw in my life

[finite coyote]

This spider has beautiful colors

[sudden flint]

Yeah tarantulas are the biggers, they hunt birds

[finite coyote]

Fortunately there had a glass between me and this monster

[sudden flint]

Well the glass is mostly there to prevent it from escaping ^^
But like most of them, that kind is not lethal for humans

[random olive]

that is not a spider thats a tarantula

[finite coyote]

But

Isn't it the same thing ?

[random olive]

i dont think so

[sudden flint]

Hmm tarantulas are spiders
Like oaks are trees

[random olive]

theyre both arachnids

ok they are a type of spider
Tarantulas comprise a group of large and often hairy spiders of the family Theraphosidae.[2] As of December 2023, 1,100 species have been identified, with 166 genera.[3] The term "tarantula" is usually used to describe members of the family Theraphosidae, although many other members of the same infraorder (Mygalomorphae) are commonly referred to as "tarantulas" or "false tarantulas". Some of the more common species have become popular in the exotic pet trade. Many New World species kept as pets have setae known as urticating hairs that can cause irritation to the skin, and in extreme cases, cause damage to the eyes.[4]

[sudden flint]

Scientific accuracy apart, all arachnids can be referred as spiders

[finite coyote]

Yes it's more easy

[crisp wyvern]

AAAAAAAAAAAH 💀

@finite coyote Why did you share the link in #🇫🇷-français!!! I shouldn't have clicked on it

[finite coyote]

Lol

[rough cliff]

Real

[sudden flint]

Well, your curiosity got the better of you mate

[crisp wyvern]

:(

[crisp wyvern]

shut up

[lime flame]

Thats a cool one

[sudden flint]

Thx 😄

[valid scaffold]

Spiders are underrated

And overhated

[sudden flint]

Totally agree with you

[fossil shore]

why's this a thing

[sudden flint]

Spiders always avoid contact with humans, they flee no matter we're scared

Well there's history behind this fear iirc
Like with bats

[valid scaffold]

Spiders

[sudden flint]

Damn I got confused between you two, GroovyWaffle and Sir Wolfyz ^^

cuz of your role color

[pulsar socket]

WOHOOOOO

[pulsar socket]

Even ticks?

[sudden flint]

Well, do they have 8 legs ? If they do, they're part of it I think

[pulsar socket]

ticks are arachnids, but I dunno if I'd refer to them as a spider

[sudden flint]

I read the full article on spiders family once, but I forgot the details. Might wanna check this yourself 😉

[finite coyote]

I found that

[pulsar socket]

ye, but were you referring to using 'spider' as an umbrella term, then?

[finite coyote]

Idk

I just found now that spiders have segmented bodies, and ticks not

[pulsar socket]

yup

they have VERY different body shapes

[lime flame]

actually true

[finite coyote]

Two spiders currently fighting

Or maybe it's a love parade

[lime flame]

this is the only specie of spider that do not eat any meat

[fossil shore]

cool

what's the catch

[lime flame]

they enslaved aphids to produced their food

[pulsar socket]

Ah, so like ants

[pulsar socket]

Chances are, it's a male trying to keep a female from eating him long enough to mate

[finite coyote]

Lol

Spider life is not easy

[sudden flint]

Usually female spiders are way bigger than male

[pulsar socket]

Often, yes. But there are some spider species where the gender difference is minimal or not noticeable

[manic field]

ha

By far this is my favorite thread

[pulsar socket]

❤️

[vagrant gale]

spooders

[finite coyote]

Woo

I don't want to be this guy

[sudden flint]

Well they may be scary, but they aren't deadly most of the time (except in movies ofc), so he probably can get away even if they fall on him.

[pulsar socket]

Cool funnel weaver I found in my garage (might've been a tarantula, unsure so if anyone can identify it thank you)

It was half awake because of the cold, but still had to toss it out

[finite coyote]

Wow, this spider looks dangerous, where do you live to have monsters like that in your garage?

[vagrant gale]

goofy creature

[pulsar socket]

Middle of the forest

Funnily enough, both funnel weavers and tarantulas are some of the least venomous spiders out there

So that spider likely wouldn't have a bite any worse than a bee sting, but since I can't identify it I can't be sure

[pulsar socket]

Identified it, seems to be a False tarantula

[pulsar socket]

Found a European Garden spider! Super cool guy (or girl)

[fossil shore]

huggable

[vagrant gale]

pretty

[finite coyote]

I give this spider a 10/10 ✨

[valid scaffold]

Fun fact wolf spiders pur

And goliathspiders hiss

Also

[pulsar socket]

Awwww

Cutie

[vagrant gale]

phrog

[finite coyote]

Poor little frog...

[vagrant gale]

I'm pretty sure the spider is actually keeping the frog so it'd eat insects that would otherwise eat the spider's eggs

[finite coyote]

I hope it's that but I still thinking that this frog is not in a good situation

[pulsar socket]

Neat

[fossil shore]

why is this a thing

[rough cliff]

Corvus

[pulsar socket]

Because spiders are awesome sauce

https://tenor.com/view/beetle-unboxing-spider-unboxing-unboxing-beetle-gif-23449000

[finite coyote]

Beautiful

[pulsar socket]

Western black widow

[finite coyote]

that's cool and scaring at the same time

[pulsar socket]

I love black widows so much

One of my favourite spiders ngl

[next mason]

Spiders in my class

[pulsar socket]

AWWWW

First one looks like a mouse spider

[finite coyote]

If I remember well, the one from the right can easely defeat the one at the left even if it looks like a fight of David against Goliath

[pulsar socket]

Not a spider, but has "spider" in its name

[rough cliff]

also cursed, fits right in

[finite coyote]

a sea spider

those things are crazy

[pulsar socket]

Sea spiders are a completely different creature

And they are nightmare fuel

They might be the only creature i've never encountered that I hate

[sudden flint]

Came upon that one in my flat

[finite coyote]

Wow is it really on your skin ?

[sudden flint]

Yes, I took it in my hands

[finite coyote]

GG

You are not dead yet

[sudden flint]

And it climbed on my wrist ^^

[finite coyote]

So are you Spiderman now?

[sudden flint]

It just tickled me, and then I released it ^^

More like Spiderfriend

[pulsar socket]

Awwwwwwh

Cutie

Really small spider

[finite coyote]

Very cute

[pulsar socket]

Unidentified jumping spider

[finite coyote]

Cool

[next mason]

@pulsar socket incy wincy ahhhh spider wtf

[pulsar socket]

Cutie

[pulsar socket]

Not a spider, but since it's a creepy crawly I decided to put it here as to not trigger anyone

I have zero idea what this is, but I stuck it in a vial since it wasn't gonna survive in the wild anyway and am now waiting for it to hatch

[pulsar socket]

it's likely a moth, but it is a pupa

not a caterpillar

[rough cliff]

please note that ais are very dumb

[finite coyote]

It looks very strange

[pulsar socket]

not really, they just get stuff wrong a lot

[rough cliff]

well, yes

[next mason]

Looks small but was like 7cm long

(My mum sprayed bug poison aerosol on it ): )

Couldve been a Tube Web Spider

@pulsar socket

[pulsar socket]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WHY

IT'S TINY

[next mason]

Fym

[pulsar socket]

WHY WOULD SHE KILL A SPIDER LIKE 7 MM LONG

[next mason]

CENTIMETRES

NOT MILLI

😭

[pulsar socket]

yeah, and that does NOT look 7 cm

i know how wall corners look and for a spider of that size, it's 7 mm

[next mason]

Fyi

My phone is so shit that even at max zoom my eyes still see it closer

My eyes are more zoomed in than my phone

So it looks tiny

Also WHERE ARE THE CAT PHOTOS

Oh wait ye u did post new ones like 2 days ago

[pulsar socket]

Beauty requires patience.

[pulsar socket]

tbf without any other object for reference, it could look tiny no matter what

But still, it didn't deserve to die 🥀

[next mason]

Ye

[finite coyote]

Poor spider

Slapping them with a shoe at least give an instant an not painful death

I guess

[next mason]

Well my mum has like 10iq

She'd probably say "Ohhhhh shush they dont feel pain"

Or something

[finite coyote]

Or maybe she really fear spiders

[next mason]

And that

[finite coyote]

Every time my mother see a big spider, she looks at that spider for ~10 min before slapping it and everytime the spider move she has a mini heart attack

[next mason]

Oh my mum sometimes makes like caveman noises then slaps it (and also gets a mini heart attack when it moves)

[finite coyote]

XD

[rough cliff]

arachnophobes smh smh

[pulsar socket]

Both my mom and sister have a mental breakdown when they see a tiny insect

I just grab them with my bare hands and throw them outside

[finite coyote]

Nice

I often can't grab them directly with my hands, I need to use paper or a stick

[pulsar socket]

Oh yeah, if it's a spider I'm ofc not risking it

I use a cup

But if it's a moth or smthn ofc I'm just gonna grab it

I'm afraid I'll crush the insect by accident if I use a paper towel

[finite coyote]

Yea some insects just don't looks dangerous

[pulsar socket]

Same with any small animal honestly

Like I often have to toss rodents out of my house, but they're so small that I feel like I'd crush them with the slightest pinch

But they're deceptively strong, so they can easily slip out of your grip if you don't hold them tight enough

[finite coyote]

That's real

[next mason]

Nah boolean

[pulsar socket]

They also are really soft and squishy for some reason-

It feels like I'm crushing them just by holding them, but I'm sure they're alright

[finite coyote]

They are alright

I hope...

XD the corrector killed me

I wanted to say bigger

I didn't even know that those kind of words are available in automatic correctors

[next mason]

I mean ur crow is black so its fine right

[pulsar socket]

They typically aren't...

Only if you say then often are they available, like the f-word

Why did it capitalize it though

[finite coyote]

Lol I never say that word

Oh in fact if I remember I often mention the country

That would explain the capital letter in the middle of the sentence

[pulsar socket]

Very unfortunate typo

[rough cliff]

indeed

[next mason]

@pulsar socket I found a small woodlouse to try to feed Bob Jr

My lil baby was following it curious then he bumped into it and ran off, its still too big 😭

Fyi Bob Jr lives in a small plastic container with shredded paper and a few leaves

Not very ethical but I dont have a terrarium or anything

[finite coyote]

Rip Bob junior

He needs an intensive hunt training

[pulsar socket]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

By why a woodlouse 😿

I love woodlice

[rough cliff]

gotta eat something

[next mason]

I managed to slap a mayfly without squishing it and it was paralysed but still twitching

Perfect snack

Twitching is good bc Bob Jr can detect the vibrations

[next mason]

Also the woodlouse is now Bob Jr's roommate

I shall name her Rolly Poly (not p-oh-lee, pronounced like the actual name Poly, or the word polygon)

[rough cliff]

she's poly? is she trying to rival roulx's power?

[pulsar socket]

Well, it was gonna die soon anyway

[next mason]

Omfg just bc a name is poly doesnt mean shes poly sexual

[rough cliff]

she is now

you're too late, she's already polyamorous, now we just need to find a way to canonically make her pan

[next mason]

Nah this morning I checked the box and shes dead

Hah fuck u :DDDD

[rough cliff]

NOOOO

YOU KILLED HER

[next mason]

Chucked her outside

[rough cliff]

wait

[next mason]

Ye

[rough cliff]

it was roulx, roulx killed her

[next mason]

What

[rough cliff]

he was wary of her power

[next mason]

Those things are often not alive for a very long time

[pulsar socket]

I love woodlice

[next mason]

Ye theyre adorable

[pulsar socket]

Cutie Patooties

There's an aquarium in California where you can pet their long lost cousins, the Giant Deep Sea Isopod

[next mason]

AAWWWWW

[pulsar socket]

Pretty sure it's the only aquarium in the world where you can do that

[next mason]

Welp

I gave bob jr a fly

Now I have to leave him for a month

Poor spood

Hope that fly is enough (its a lil bigger than him)

[finite coyote]

Found that in my cat's bowl 💀

[pulsar socket]

Why must you pick it up with a perfectly good pair of chopsticks

[finite coyote]

It was my father's chopsticks pair, so it's not my problem

Also it was one of the best ways to pick up the spider without breaking one of its legs

[pulsar socket]

Awwww

Your father made a good sacrifice.

[finite coyote]

Yea

[next mason]

@pulsar socket

I have weird maybe sad news

Bob Jr has vanished from his enclosure

[pulsar socket]

He's either dead in a corner somewhere or is somewhere safe

[pulsar socket]

I hope he's safe

[next mason]
