The Spider Thread


Recommended Posts

I don't know about you, but I have a strong addiction to taking pictures of spiders. In real life, I'm deathly terrified of them. But it seems whenever I have my camera in hand, I change, and thrive to take pictures of these tiny, and I do mean, tiny little guys. So why not make a thread to show the love, and help those who want to fight their fear of them available. Anyways, Follow pics are taken by me :3

I wish I had a camera! There is a large and beautiful brown spider with a funnel web on our porch. I'm fairly confident that it is a grass spider because of the prominent spinnerets. I could have misidentified it as a wolf spider, but it doesn't fit the description as neatly. I can't help myself: I keep feeding it. It didn't like my offerings of Japanese beetle or sow bug yesterday, but today's gift of a grasshopper (easily its size) went over swimmingly. Yay!

I found another and fed it a carpenter ant. They look gross and these particular ones are huge (about 3/4 of an inch long body, even longer with the legs), but their chelicerae (fangs) are yet too tiny to penetrate human flesh.

Found on a website--mine are at least as pretty as this!

I fed my green spider some ants today. He was happy ^^

For someone who hates internet memes/ Virul Videos....I am surprised you posted this particular spider pic, as it has made its rounds on 4chan and the like.

Really? Seen it on a couple of sites (TV Tropes and a blog) and swiped it before to post on FB. ;)

A nifty pic nonetheless, yeah?

    • I should be doing all the stuff on my to-do list, which is very long. But the spirit is weary and the flesh is weak, and I'd rather watch the X-Files.   Including, but not limited to: fixing the drier vent fixing my PC (cracked thermal paste?) sorting out boxes of stuff and finding places to put stuff ferrying the last of my crap from the old place fixing outlets painting putting up the shower curtain cleaning the clutter off the table getting the boxes out of the garage Half it it seems like just fixing stuff I don't wanna fix 😞 I'll start it -- tomorrow.
    • What a classic. This is one of the things that never leaves my head no matter how hard I try (except I don't try to remove it)   I had forgotten this is one of the earliest ones though. Nearly at 3000 comics now.
    • ~~~~~ Your last statement sounds like me!
    • I had a productive day. I also have found some new music to listen to. However, one of my cats is sitting in my lap right now; usually that’s good, but he’s digging his sharp claws into my leg, which isn’t so good.
    • Tired AF... me and Youngblood was out magnet fishin' the Rocky River last night, was an Ef'ed up long day today with the work truck blowin' the trans cooler return lines. Been up all night again tonight again, got back from Leland over to Motor City Casino 'bout 4am and spent hours walkin' every floor level of the casino and parking garages over and over, time after time tryin' to locate rest of my gang... finally found a hidden enclave with a smoking slot machine rom in it that'd I'd been overlooking and all three of 'em ª$$høŁƏ$ was there, they'd been in there tha whole freakin' time... of course Bosshog has no interest in walking away from paying machines yet so I'm sittin' in the back seat of the truck chillin' in the parking garage. Blood sugar bottomed out too low to keep on adventurin' this morn' lol. That's my editorial on last nights crazy in hopes in may entertain someone. All's I got is plenty of 51/50... my cup full o' crazy runneth over so to contribute all this surplus insanity to the greater community at large just seems like a thing to do lol.
