Water hat!

Oh wow! So I've heard of spider pig, but I think spider cat is my spirit animal. That belongs in this thread, right?

I can't tell if this one is having fun or doing an aerial attack and trying to kill me.

 

[finnickthedog]

Jumping spiders are the best and cutest of all spiders. My favorites!
Plus one of the easiest families to identify so that helped.

I took a class on arachnids two summers ago and that was what I learned

I don't know that those are mutually exclusive events.

Valid point.

Happy face spiders are super cute as well

[orca2011]

I actually "awww"ed at this one. Maybe this is helping my dislike of them. It looks so sad and eager to please.

 

[Trilt]

Did someone say spider kitty?

 

[Skimble]

I almost can't believe this is real! SO pretty!

 

[orca2011]

Similar spider to Trilt's but I always like the "anatomy" images:

I like "nom wrigglers" the most, personally.

Probably my favorite as well.

Did someone say spider kitty?

No no no. No.

I feel like I have spiders crawling all over me now.

 

[Devastating]

This was always my favorite baby spider image but I think that one in the first post has it beat now.

 

[battie]

You are all insane. Lol.

Is that a sun spider (or whatever other names it goes by)?

Sun scorpion?

 

[finnickthedog]

Sun scorpion?

Probably the same thing. If its what I think it has various nicknames and I can't remember the true name. Sol...something?

I had a tarantula in my room when we lived overseas. I told my parents and the damn thing hid behind the curtain so they didn't see it. It was about as large as my 9 year old hand. So then my dad went on a business trip and my mom and I were changing the sheets on my bed. Sure enough, the damn thing was still there. I believe my brothers finally managed to kill it by vacuuming it. I tend to like most spiders, but you don't get to be in the bedroom. And all brown recluses die. I was bitten by one in my sleep and had a huge abscess as a result. They don't get to live anymore.

OH GOSH. Okay. Yeah. That one is a bit much.

Camel spider

 

[finnickthedog]

Camel spider

Yup. Thats the one I'm thinking of.
They're creepy looking. I hope I never meet a live one.

 

[rockatiel]

I'm gonna follow this thread. My arachnophobia and my love for all creatures has been a conflict for much too long.

I hollered laughing thank you so much

This is a spider appreciation thread

It's totally cool to not appreciate the spider-cats though, right?

Anything that crawls into my bed and bites me without permission deserves to die. That's the rules. Doesn't matter what species.

So it's ok if I have permission?

Guess one of my cats deserves to die for all those times she bit my toes when I was sleeping

Mine too! My one occasionally jumps on my face while I'm sleeping, and it's really no fun waking up to claws across your nose.

that would lose kitty bedroom privileges in my world.

All 3 cats have lost bedroom privileges here.

You gave her permission by allowing her to repeat the behavior and by inviting her to snuggle then wiggling your tasty toes. She has done nothing wrong. If you expected different behavior, stop sending mixed messages.

So it's ok if I have permission?

Totally.
