if you ever feel like spiders are fearless, unstoppable death machines that are bent upon your destruction please remember that my tarantula has been sitting, inconsolable, with her knees tucked around her face for the past 20 minutes solely because she stepped on her own foot
“Some may disagree with this picture, but I absolutely love it. The other day my daughter and I staged a tea party with three of my most docile tarantulas. My daughter is three years old and is very cooperative. She loves her tarantulas and even joins in with the care and maintenance for these creatures. I have recently been hearing some negative comments from neighbors and friends about these mean, attack driven creatures. I decided I would take a photo that would lighten the mood about how dangerous tarantulas are assumed to be….docile unless tempted. I feel that all tarantulas should be considered “defensive” rather than “aggressive.” I hope you enjoy the picture. ”
It just goes to show you that the fear set within us of spiders isn’t entirely instinctual and is mostly taught.
oh god I normally hate spiders but this one I can’t he’s watching himself dance kajhskld you precious creepy thing
oh my god narcissistic dancing spider get THE FUCK ON MY DASH
oh my god are you fucking joking how can you be this cute when you’re literally the spawn of the nightmares and sadness in the world.
If it helps, that’s not a dance, it’s a territorial aggression display.
That spider is trying to intimidate the ‘other spider’ into leaving and is getting the impression that the other spider is an asshole who is trying to do the same thing.
i love how the rest of the world doesn’t realise that australians have to eat vegemite because it gives us immunity to all spider and snake venoms
i know they are all so clueless
are you serious i can never fucking tell when you guys are serious
this is 1000% true
im still confused
this is a joke isn’t it
I don’t eat vegemite so I have to stay inside
my non-australian friends make fun of vegemite but then theyre all terrified to go to australia because of the wildlife and its just like what do you want from me
