    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.

        It’s a quote from Blade Runner.

      You’re reading a magazine. You come across a full-page nude photo of a girl.

        Wait, no, that was the tortoise…

    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.

    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.

    TIL, it's not so much that we step on them as they they throw themselves under our footsteps...

    Walking back home from work at night I cross some fields, I see dozens of them. They are super easy to spot with a headlamp, their eyes shine like tiny glass shards or water droplets.

    Since spiders gets drunk on caffeine, she’s doing a Starbucks run.

      Given THC the active ingredient in marijuana, the spider didn’t build a web, but a hammock. Where it would lay all day and watch the caffeine spider go.

    I once found a wolf spider with a bunch of babies in my sink. Scooped it up and put them in the leaf litter outside my house.

      They are not great indoor spiders but since they are always roaming around they sometimes end up inside homes.

    I can tolerate looking at one single spider. Some of them are even looking very cute.

    But one big spider with hundreds mini spiders on top of it looks very disturbing 🫥

    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. Wouldnct have known they were there, otherwise. Everywhere. Was curious enough to find out what they were and much to my relief, mostly harmless. Still, tresspassers get the death penalty. I’ve crowled 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 donct 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.
