Starlight tour, but for spiders.
I love that the bear also uses a cup and napkin 😂
Alien invasion!
Wow, he deported the spider. Unbelievable.
That’s cold… as ICE
And someone way down here loses someone dear ! 🎶
While I try to let them chill for the most part, the eight legged bastard that descended from the ceiling in the middle of the room to just eye level with me got clapped like a bitch.
I had one plop off the ceiling onto my shoulder while I was working a few weeks ago. Took a pic and sent it to my daughters to remind them spiders are our friends and then took him off my shoulder and put him on the ground.
My philosophy… if he’s surviving in my house, he’s eating bugs and providing a service.
I aspire to never be this pathetic.
House-dwelling spiders are usually adapted to life inside the house (likely cave-dwelling species). Their survival rate outside is not very good.
Does not apply so much in warm weather countries. All the spiders that come into our house are also easily found loving life outside (Australia). I just gently move them out, except daddy long-legs, generally let some of them stay as pest control.
Ahhh okay. I live in Canada and I frequently see spiders roaming my house when it’s well below freezing outside. I’m pretty confident they will not survive out in the snow.
I started releasing rather than killing spiders after reading “Blade Runner: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”
In that future, most animals have disappeared and people consider the sight of a spider as an extraordinary thing. Sparing a single spider might be vain, but it feels right knowing insect/spider population is quickly decreasing.
Jumping spiders are always welcome in my home.
I would have thought a spider was impossible to pet had I not seen this. Chill little fella.
Jumping spiders are very nice pets, a lot of people have it as such. They are smart enough to recognise their owner and even to learn tricks.
I love jumping spiders and always keep them in my home when I see them but for my neurospicy brain, that video is a fucking nightmare to watch with those subtitles and I hate it I hate it I hate it aaaaaa
Obligatory “Read Children Of Time if you love jumping spiders” comment
Children Of Time is not so wrong, jumping spiders naturally in their current size cant evolve to an complex tecnologic society, but it’s true that they have an astounding intelligence for an so minuscule beeing, capable to planning different strategies to catch their prey, a good sight and perfect aware of an 3D environment. They know exactly what they are doing. Called also cats with 8 legs.
I mean, in CoT they are infected with the Uplift virus, so they will evolve the intelligence and size to get to a complex society
Yes, but the amount of neurons is limited in beeings with less than 5mm, to envolve they must turning also somewhat bigger.
The reason why Asimov wrote a second novel after Fantastic Voyage, which was an work based on the movie, but Asimov are not satisfied about it as scientific, because reducing the size of the people to molecular level, there are impossible that they are capable even to think more than a molecule, so he wrote a second part and in this the bodies are not reduced, but partially traslated to an parrallel dimension, so that the remaining part were small enough to be inyected in the body of the pacient.
The spiders grow larger. By the end of the first book they are about human chest size
You have to jump this high to be let inside
Also you do NOT want to face an all spider jury one day.
96 eyes all judging me.
I understand the metaphor, but I think we as men are the spiders.
Spiders are friends. I will terminate any centipedes found inside my house, though. The bastardly kind, not the house centipedes.
This brings up a lot of guilt I have for killing so many spotted lantern flies. I hate that it’s so necessary

My mom taught me growing up to deal with spiders like this. She proudly told me how her dad had taught her to do it. Now she’s nearly 90 and when she sees a spider she’s like KILL THAT FUCKIN THING!!!
If you upvoted and you eat meat, then you’re a hypocrite.
Spiders do not deserve this mercy. Kill on sight.
Spiders are keeping your house free of bugs that will eat your food if they find it. They’re working hard and get little thanks.
Spiders ARE bugs.
They are not bugs that will eat your food though, which was the point I made.
But what if the other bugs are my food??
