Spiders don’t have human rights.
I love that the bear also uses a cup and napkin 😂
Alien invasion!
People of Earth, your attention, please. As you will no doubt be aware, the plans for development of the outlying regions of the Galaxy require the building of a hyperspatial express route through your star system. And regrettably, your planet is one of those scheduled for demolition.
The process will take slightly less than two of your Earth minutes. Thank you.
I’m sorry, spider, but it’s this or the mercy of the cats.
There ain’t no mercy where the purr comes from
Or the sink run.
I had to try to get a silverfish out of a sink not long ago and I’m pretty sure I ended up killing the poor thing anyway. They’re so hard to handle.
those things are animated dust
You rather die now?
Starlight tour, but for spiders.
The spiders have their corners in my house. Doesn’t bother me. They eat the pesky flying insects that like to fly in my face.
I have off-limits places: where I sleep and in the shower. If I can’t reach them and they’re there… unfortunately they get the hand vac. Otherwise, it’s time to bring out and index card and Dedicated Spider Cup. It’s outside if it’s not winter, and basement if it’s winter.
I got some plants over wintering in the garage, and the spider bros have been keeping down the tiny flies that came in the trees. ❤️🕷️
Spider bro.
Spider bro
They can’t look extraordinarily deadly though if they don’t wanna be taken outside - any daddylonglegs lookers are 100% safe to corner chill
I am fine with a few spiders around, but the detente does not extend to eggsacs.
This take could swing from normal all the way to unhinged depending on the number and size the spiders
Distant cackling
Same here, although they’re not catching much of the current infestation of Maple/Boxelder bugs.
I like their look and dopey panicked movements when they notice you watching them, but the cute looks get old when there’s 20 sunbathing on the wrong side of the kitchen window.
The only spiders I’ve seen want to eat those are cellar spiders, and even that seems reluctant on their part lol. Guess they really taste horrible or something.
Wiki does say tastes bad for birds. Maybe some irritant? I know spiders don’t have taste buds, but chemical sensing hairs near the mouth instead doing the closest spider equivalent.
Edit: their feet taste too? Damn.
Spider steps on boxelder bug
’Eww eww eww get it off!’
Hum… I tried to maintain that philosophy until they attracted a wanderer that I was unable to get rid of for 2 days until it ate all the spiders. Also, one of them attacked me, what wasn’t a big issue, but I prefer not to happen again.
Now I kill them all.
Jumping spiders are always welcome in my home.
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
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
Wow, he deported the spider. Unbelievable.
That’s cold… as ICE
And someone way down here loses someone dear ! 🎶
Killing spiders is a scam by big fly/mosquito/insert insect of choice.
Right, spiders at home are very usefull
We let huntsman spiders live in our houses, they’re harmless and keep other insects down. That one has been eating well. They’re not often that big
Yes, I know that Huntsman are calm and not dangerous for humans ¹, as mostly the bigger spiders are not, dangerous are some smaller ones (few, also in Australia), but anyway I would try to sleep with my mouth closed.
I’m sure they would only venture onto you if they were persuing something that already ran onto you
You’re big and scary and dangerous to something as small as a dinner plate sized spider, they’re not going to risk walking on megafauna (did you know we are megafauna?)
Tiny spiders might not have the perspective to recognise that we’re living things, but they crawl on us when we’re awake. Huntsmans keep a distance from us, and think they’re perfectly camouflaged while they stand still, as they are when they’re not on an ivory white wall
Second, find a take-away container, scoop the spider into the container
What, like an excavator?
FUCK THAT
Except moskito and fly. And flies that suck blood get hunted.
It says not bothering anyone.
That’s really cute until you apply the “alive in wrong space at wrong time” philosophy to cockroaches and termites. Clean your house and keep the local wildlife outside.
Spiders eat those things. That guy up there called those eating meat hypocrites but they’re a little off missing this fact.
People who save spiders and eat meat do it because they’re not hypocrites. They respect their own kind.
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.
That guy is the reason why all spiders get the impediment of the doubt from me.
They’re all good, until I notice them. That’s my policy
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.
Maybe it depends on where you live, but I always find the same spiders living in gardens or on the side of a shed or something, so I’ve never been worried about that except in winter.
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.
wolf spiders not so much
All the spiders in my house got names… The are all named Gunter!
So they got a name, not names.
I forgot to mention Günter!
Too late, he moved out because he didn’t feel appreciated.
Noooooo Günter i am Sorry! 😭

Funny, I expect all penguins to have that name.
What about Boris?
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.
After a shower a giant crab spider dropped out of my towel, instinctually I knew only one of us would leave that bathroom alive.
But little jumping spiders are my buddies
Huntsman spiders are a special case. I don’t think I would do well with a tarantula in my bathroom while I’m naked either.
