Common house spider in the Philippines Yes that's a lizard hanging out of its mandibles

If it is that common, how come there are houses left in the Philippines? Surely there would just be millions of smoldering shells of houses and millions of people screaming because of said spiders?

those spiders are beautiful

Saw someone posted the Cocunut crab. Those things are terrifying. But how about these?


I'm generally a fan of spiders and arthropods. Just not so much when the balancing act of their poisonousness/fast as hellness/hidingness/general terror and the fact that were I in need of it, a solid hit from the sole of my shoe or another such object will save me is skewed in their favour by being GIGANTIC. LOOK AT THAT THING!! ITS TRYING TO GET THAT TODDLER!! OHWAIT. THAT'S A GOD DAMN MAN.

Ha! I challenge your disgusting, nightmare inducing crap spider thing with a spider that is cute.

All spiders are beautiful.

@Kuy thank you! That's wonderful! Jumping spiders are amazing.

I saw that video. It's funnier with the sound. Also the caption was apparently 'wad of pubic hair turns out to be spiders' or something

I linked to the Facebook video in a previous post. The person filming says "supero pelo pubico", which does mean "super pubic hair".

“Spider venom comes in many forms. It can often take a long while to discover the full effects of the bite. Naturalists have pondered this for years: there are spiders whose bite can cause the place bitten to rot and to die, sometimes more than a year after it was bitten. As to why spiders do this, the answer is simple. It's because spiders think this is funny, and they don't want you ever to forget them.”

I'm pretty sure those are daddy long legs/ harvestmen (Opiliones) which are harmless and which aren't really spiders *pushes up glasses*. They tend to cluster like that in the fall for warmth. Really, you should let them run all over your body so that they can keep warm. Be a friend to arachnid kind.

(jkjk, I don't want them all over me either but I hope the mental image of that gives all of you ninnies nightmares)

Took these last summer.  About as small as a quarter.  Common house spider.

Look who I found in my office

Amanu

Found this black widow on my door. Nopenopenope

Trilliana

wow, she's really pretty, and probably fairly big.


I don't know what's wrong with me, but I love black widow spiders

Amanu

Liking is cool, I've dealt with a rose tarantula before. Very deadly, very non aggressive. Black widow? Not in the mood for a hole in me.
