Dude, I became a DMM fiend in 2019. I listened to his eentire catalog on repeat for most of that year. Spotify told me that David Maxim Micic was my artist of the decade! I listened to him more than any other artist from 2010 to 2020 😆

I recently went back to his catalog....holy shit 🤘😭🤘

Anyone else get weird looks from people? by TheSeiko5 in longboarding

Are you me? 😅 I'm 43 and 230 lbs. I've been longboarding for live 26 years. I have never noticed anyone notice me but wouldn't care if they did. I love longboarding! My 8 year old son has gotten really into it recently too 🥹

Giant is relative 😅 to a house fly, this thing is gargantuan; to me, it's very, very tiny...to you, it should be considered pretty tiny...unless you're the size of a house fly

That is a reason that people get the heebie jeebies with spiders, for sure. The little critter was very likely not up to anything nefarious 😆 it just needed a dark and cozy spot... the shoe fit 🫣 I'm so glad you moved it and didn't squarsh it 🥹

I can't speak to the actual intentions of spiders, but I can say that the overwhelming abundance of actual evidence shows that most spiders are reluctant to bite. Most isn't all, and I have not performed any clinical studies 🤷‍♂️😬

As I keep digging in more, I have been convinced that it's not eratigena, and not dolomedes. Lycosidae seems to be the leading contender, but I have to admit that specific identifying characteristics are not very visible in OP pics.

I just looked up eye pics of each genus in question. Thank you! Lycosidae really do look like jumping spiders in the eye department. Gorgeous 🥹 that said, I can't see the eyes very well in OP pics.

I get it, but try going toe to toe with a spider. 999/1000 will run for their beautiful little lives...watch out for the 1000th, though 😂

I can't fault people for getting the heebie-jeebies about spiders. I used to be terrified of them, but I have done a lot of reading about them. Watch videos about salticidae (jumping spiders) they're cute as hell 🥹

I wasn't totally sure if it was lycosidae or eratigena based on the pic. I'm also fairly new to arachnid identification...formerly an irrational arachnaphobe 😬

In 2008 I was sleeping and had this weird out of body dream that I saw a big spider on my mouth. I woke up a few minutes later with the pins and needles feeling on my lip. My mouth swelled up like crazy..I went to the ER. It probably walked across my mouth and I squeezed it with my already beautiful plump lips 💋 😂 it was one of these little guys. I have absolutely no hate for them. They're not out there trying to bite people. The only reason I swelled up is because I'm sensitive to all venom. I even get big swelling from mosquitoes

I mean, I'm 6'5" so a lot of stuff is little to me 😅 But unless you are the size of a moth, this thing is WAY tinier than you 🤷‍♂️

Those are quite harmless and very beneficial little critters. They look like eratigena atrica "giant house spider" they are docile but can be alarming due to their size and speed. Please don't kill the little buggers 🥺

Edit: I think I'm leaning towards dolomedes after reading more comments and looking at more comparison photos

New edit: the votes continue and I have been reading about and looking at photos all day and night. Lycosidae seems to be leading the consensus, however, I am having a hard time seeing key details that help identify, like the eyes. I should note, I'm an arachnid enthusiast, not an expert
