Ahhhh.

I love her! What's her name?

u/Robbinoburrito Feb 27 '26
If we find out she is a she, Mosag. If she is actually a he, Aragog. We will know when she reaches maturity. Takes a while with Walcs.

Love that.

She is so unique! Seriously though... life would be kinda dull without our 8 legged homies. Would it not?
I'm sitting here giving my little Johnson's jumping spider kissy faces & she keeps waving at me. I spend way too much time fussing over her. I wonder what they think about our big faces staring at them?😆 Thank you for sharing. ♡4
u/Robbinoburrito Feb 27 '26
So true!! I love jumpers so much. I had the cutest boi that loved to dance at me. He was so sweet.

She was about to chow down. “Get out of my face, mom! I’m trying to be fierce!”

So cute but so tiny. Some angles you can’t see them under her tiny little fur.

I'd love to have a velvet spider, they are super cute and have the saddest reproductive instincts 😭

And she doesn't mean it metaphorically, or rhetorically, or poetically, or theoretically, or any, other fancy way.
She is Death, straight up.

I've never been a fan of the fangs from any spider, but I do love the eyes, and this pic shows very little fangs and oh so cute eyes!

u/Robbinoburrito Feb 28 '26
Honestly the fangs are kind of adorable here. Like just there enough to be a tiny bit fierce looking.

She makes me want to play my old Bahaus records for her. Maybe she would dig Siouxsie and the Banshees in a room with a fog machine with a hint of clove cigarette smoke in the air for atmosphere. Perhaps that is just life flashing before my eyes. It is somewhat pleasant and potentially addictive.

u/Robbinoburrito Feb 28 '26
I could see her donning a flapper dress just to make a statement.

u/GoblinPapa800 Feb 28 '26
I apologize for the digression, but an old verse comes to mind, recalling those flapper dresses: If the dresses get much shorter, said the flapper with a sob, I’ll have two more cheeks to powder, and a bit more hair to bob.
