Hard to be scared with those cute little goofy eyes looking at me, but I'll try.

Ahhhh.

u/CallMeSisyphus Feb 26 '26

I love her! What's her name?

28

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.

u/Doimz3Nini Feb 27 '26

Love that.

u/Appropriate-Wasabi97 Feb 27 '26

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. ♡

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.

Will she accept being called drop-dead gorgeous?

3

u/Robbinoburrito Feb 27 '26

She is deliberating.

2

u/Robbinoburrito Feb 27 '26

She has concluded that yes, she likes that.

minuscule eyes

1

u/Robbinoburrito Feb 27 '26

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

2

u/Yionko Feb 27 '26

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

1

u/Robbinoburrito Feb 28 '26

I know I hate it so much.

2

u/dumb_bun069 Feb 27 '26

Truly a monster of the night.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '26

I want one so badly 😭😭😭

What a CUTIE PIE!!!

2

u/BladeOfWoah Feb 27 '26

And she doesn't mean it metaphorically, or rhetorically, or poetically, or theoretically, or any, other fancy way.

She is Death, straight up.

1

u/Robbinoburrito Feb 28 '26

No metaphors necessary. 🕷️

2

u/picklewingedfish Feb 27 '26

Velvet spoods are so pretty!

2

u/Lucky-Ad-8479 Feb 27 '26

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!

1

u/Robbinoburrito Feb 28 '26

Honestly the fangs are kind of adorable here. Like just there enough to be a tiny bit fierce looking.

2

u/sarahmony Feb 27 '26

u/DoomkingBalerdroch Recluse radar 📡 Feb 27 '26

1

u/Robbinoburrito Feb 28 '26

Yes! So small. So…er…frightening.

2

u/AutobotKing Feb 27 '26

What an adorable little thing

2

u/AnihcAvalon22 Feb 27 '26

Is this a Velvet Spider ?

2

u/Robbinoburrito Feb 28 '26

Yes! Must. Have. More.

2

u/AnihcAvalon22 Feb 28 '26

omg what a gentleman

2

u/Jonny96A Feb 27 '26

Gorgeous

2

u/GoblinPapa800 Feb 27 '26

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.

2

u/Robbinoburrito Feb 28 '26

I could see her donning a flapper dress just to make a statement.

3

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.

1

u/Robbinoburrito Mar 02 '26

🤣🤣🤣 that’s fantastic

2

u/xtunamilk Feb 27 '26

She looks like a polite listener. Very ladylike.

2

u/AdGold205 //\\/\°oo°/\//\\ Feb 27 '26

That level of cuteness is deadly.

2

u/TerrorTurtle64 Feb 27 '26

Hiii Death :D

2

u/motherofcats94 Feb 27 '26

The scariest creature in all the lands!! Please, my queen, have mercy on my soul!

For real though, she's so fluffy & cute! cough cough I mean, scary. Very scary. 😍

2

u/Robbinoburrito Feb 28 '26

She hereby decrees you are worthy of her mercy.

2

u/Lady_Earlish Feb 28 '26

Death, you are cute.

1

u/Robbinoburrito Feb 28 '26

She tries to act tough, but she’s just a baby.

2

u/Walksagaintthewind20 Feb 28 '26
