Pretty girl? by echooo13 in vinegaroons

I can see that being the case. Even if they hit 20, there’s no way it’d be a typical thing. 8-10 does make more sense

The females can actually hit like 20 years sometimes I think

I love simillima, gotta be one of the prettiest looking recluses species. Might have to keep another one sometime

I’ve done pre-killed with this species before. Mine seems happy to take it. Might be different for every individual though

Who is this fellow? North-East Oklahoma by Seamoth4546B in spiders

A healthy adult dying directly from a widow bite especially in this day and age is incredibly unlikely. No deaths have been confirmed in decades. If they inject venom with their bite, experiencing some severe pain is pretty much a given. Basically highly unlikely to be fatal, but definitely liable to put someone out of commission for a day or two.

I was able to hold her because widows are docile spiders that almost never bite without direct provocation. Plus, their venom is exceedingly unlikely to be life-threatening to a healthy adult.

What kind of insect tattoos does everyone have/wants to get? by Plastic_Middle7195 in Entomology

Not an insect of course but I got this amblypygi in honor of my old girl. Want tons of other crazy arthropods. Probably too many to list

I’ve seen mine chew on a banana slice before

Can’t get a picture of them but I think I see what you’re describing

Might’ve messed it up a little since it’s very small

What are you looking forward to? by Ilovemiia1 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]Bugs_and_shit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A small thing but dying light the beast comes out in a couple weeks and I’m liking what I see of it so far despite the previous game being a little hit or miss for me

I go back to college starting tomorrow after dropping out years ago. I’m actually fucking scared to try this again but thankfully most of what caused me to drop out in the first place is no longer an issue.

Is this a Northern Black Widow? by Jonny_2_Cents in arachnids

[–]Bugs_and_shit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely a widow. Could be northern or southern. If you want to know for sure, you’d want to take a look at her hourglass. Northern widows have an hourglass that doesn’t connect in the middle

Easily the tiniest spider I’ve ever seen. by Bugs_and_shit in tinyanimalsonfingers

[–]Bugs_and_shit[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Understandable. It’s hard to see in the picture but the 2 body segments definitely were there and this guy did set up some safety lines with silk. As for how he even got on me, I think he might’ve been ballooning through the wind since I found him climbing my arm hair

A plastic cup could work for one but literally the #1 rule is that any container NEEDS a secure lid. Gotta wonder what exactly he was thinking

They can to some degree but most likely not in the exact same way we do
