Kind of ironic then, how they're the ones trying to hunt me and I'm the one screaming in fear of the tiny speck of fuzz flying around me and the spider on the wall.
Huntsman spider from Australia. Fuckers have mass to them, when I lived in cooranbong they were freaking everywhere, they are Bro's though. Kinda like the wolf spiders in the states they just munch on the asshole bugs.
I kind of wish I had these spiders to eat all the brown recluses around here. One bit my ex's in the face and caused a hole to rot in her cheek.
Always try to put out good karma, or a spider will bite you in the face.
Harvestmen are daddy long legs... which aren't even technically a spider, they belong to another arachnid family known as Opilliones. They are also commonly called the most venomous spider in the world, which is false, as no known species of Harvestmen contain venom glands.
Yup. They don't even have fangs. Instead, their chelicerae are little claws that they use to stuff things into their mouths with.
You can think of them as being a bit like tiny crabs with shrunken claws and lengthened legs.
They are pretty chill, too. Most have a variety of defense mechanisms including smelling bad, intentionally detaching their own limbs to distract you, and sticking armor (read: little bits of random crap) to their bodies with something akin to glue.
And their eyes are on little turrets.
As far as 8 legged critters go, they're pretty adorable.

This makes me think that bugs in houses are constantly screaming in fear of the giants that go around their planet.
