First time I saw this was on the beach late on a moonless night. This was before cell phones, so I had to get close in the dim glow from a street light half a block away. They started sprawling.
My condolences
happened in our garage when a roommate stepped on a fat spider trying to kill it. mini spiders everywhere!
Try to keep wolf spiders alive but if you must kill, watch they don’t have the hundred babies on their back. If they do…it’s nightmare fuel
Had a smoke detector going off randomly one night and I pulled it down only to have mama crawl all over my hand as the babies were running around like maniacs, some casting off. Mama still had a bunch on her when I got the smoke detector outside.
I remember a bush outside my window with the spider in it. Green body, orange legs… I watched her build a web all summer. One day there was an egg in the web. After a while, the egg hatched and hundreds of baby spiders came out and ate her.
You’re reading a magazine. You come across a full-page nude photo of a girl.
I flip it.
Wait, no, that was the tortoise…
Since spiders get drunk on caffeine, she’s doing a Starbucks run.
Don’t make me stop this thorax
Aren’t they the cutest nightmares you’ve ever seen?
I’ll never forget walking through my grandfathers yard and noticing that with every step I took, I’d see a few dart away from me. Only saw them when they were crossing the tops of flat clove leaves in the grass. Wouldn’t have known they were there, otherwise. They were everywhere, out there. Every square foot of grass. Was curious enough to find out what they were and much to my relief, mostly harmless. Still, tresspassers caught inside, get the death penalty.
I’ve crawled under nearly a thousand houses since then and never got bit, despite undoubtedly being covered by different kinds. Still panic if I catch em on me, but I know I don’t have much to worry about here in the PNW. The coast and valley are pretty safe. Rattlers and widows are more common east of the valley.
