Spiders are friends! Even "aggressive" spiders generally try to explain that you're freaking them out first.
The sydney funnel web, one of the world's most maligned spiders, is mostly just a slow little idiot.
I try and maintain at least one house huntsman spider as excepting when they fall on you which is always a shock they're fab room mates.

Spiders are such amazing little critters. I love them so much.
I love when they do little dances 🥺
Cute!
Haha, I hate this so much
I'm just here to say pedipalps is a cool word.
I hate the innate speciesism of the meme. You know the person who made this was posting about hecking good woofers on twitter 4 years ago.
In fact I’ve always felt strange about the defense of spiders like this. I don’t like how it’s often centered around their practicality (this species kills pests, so treat it with respect). Often it implies there are vermin species (flies, mosquitos, roaches) which are to be regarded is no such way as the lofty arachnids.
TLDR: spider lovers are fascists.
I love this. Down with the spider fascists!

Shine on you diamond
While I acknowledge that even mosquitoes have their purpose, you're correct that this animal-meritocracy bullshit leans fascist. I am self-critting about it
That last picture is creepy as fuck. It's making me think tge spider is manipulating the person into some depraved sexual thing.
What a consenting adult spider does with a consenting adult human behind closed doors is none of your business
ok singer
Very weird and telling comment to make
What do you mean, manipulating?
This is what I've been saying.

Yeah, I can’t parse these comments for the life of me
Technically it's chitin and it can be quite irritating if you get too many hairs on your skin. But it's still cute.
I did.
