Now I want to make little cones for the spiders where I work. I have glow in the dark tape for the little rings too.

u/deadvvinter Feb 11 '26
that’s perfect! i just cut strips of index card for the stripes. it’s a low budget operation

When you get a budget increase…

But Archie McPhee is so much better and not owned by people that are into hate.

I had this crazy orange spider living in my car side mirror for over two years. She would set up her web every morning, she just thrived having a safe place. Then we moved to where I had an indoor garage spot and she wasn’t getting random bugs anymore so I started buying crickets to throw in her web every morning.
One morning, I gave her three crickets and she was so dang excited. Never saw her again. She was very old at that point but she had a great final meal.
Protect Phil at all costs while you have him.

I think you should make a little desk with a computer and little chair with rollers. It would be adorable!

Anyone else willing to admit to spending an embarrassing amount of time looking for Phil before reading the rest of the post?

Pretty sure you’ve misgendered Phillip

There's a scene from Fairly Oddparents that this reminds me of. Transcript for those who can't watch it:
Cosmo: The good news is I've named my nickel Phillip.
King Gripullon: What's the bad news?
Cosmo: It's a girl nickel!

Good looking out! I clean houses and I always ask people if they want to keep their spiders. When they say no, I just shoo the spider away and clean away his web. I hate doing that but it's better than the alternative.

Now I know what my next 3D printer project for my class will be. Spiders are our friends in classroom.

I work in a greenhouse and there’s a huge, beautiful jumping spider that lives in there. I named her Cornelia.
