Tw Arachnophobia - Blog Posts

So I have this terrarium in a jar on my desk, and for months I thought everything in it had died, but I just looked in it and found a pair of healthy adult spiders just. Hanging out in there.

You may be able to imagine my surprise upon seeing this, as I had not opened the lid in months and had seen the two plants I put inside die in real time. That all happened in, like, August? Maybe earlier?

The weirdest part is that spiders are predators, so if I have spiders, I must also have other bugs they're preying on that I never noticed.

The new spider verse short was amazing

Dungeon Meshi AU where instead of the hot pot in the first chapter, Senshi turns the giant scorpion into one of these bad boys

Here you got ALL my ocs, and I still have to make a few more... I swear I didn't expect to have so many characters... ☠️☠️☠️

TW: BLOODY SPIDER

The last thing he saw.

Old and Past season by fuck it A Halloween/Christmas Spider

I drew this like a year ago

New oc! I might make them my sona. Nonbinary flag colors accidentally but I love the palette! Not spider inspired but is getting an arachnophobia trigger warning because of the many eyes and sets of limbs. Any pronouns for the oc.

Personality:

Chaotic, friendly, a little scary

Would stare you down in the mc donald's line if they went to mcdonalds.

Hates capatalizm

Will not shut up

Fidgets

Cannot focus on you or an unnerving level of eye contact.

Came from the deep dark forest at some point. Nobody knows what or why they are

Might overthrow the government

Oh yeah, and their name is Fen.

artfights over ! sadly caught covid T_T so i had negative 0 energy to do alot more attacks than i initially wanted but none the less here is my favorite one i’ve done out of the ones i finished ! which is @dewgongs oc Webb! i enjoyed making this so much.. so much

Hey @cumsplunge (please don't make me say your name again)! I saw your tags and I wanted to note that, while most spiders have relatively poor eyesight, there are actually many spiders with very good eyesight! The most obvious example is ogre-faced spiders, which are named after the distinctive look their massive eyes give them. Just look at 'em!

These little guys are also known as net-casting spiders and, as you might guess from the name, catch prey by actually casting a net of their webbing!

As such, having huge eyes gives them the eyesight to properly see and aim their net. Other spiders such as wolf spiders also have good eyesight, but ogre-faced spiders are easily my favorite. If you want to learn more about ogre-spiders, check out this hilarious (and informative) video by Ze Frank on Youtube:

A lot of spiders:

“idk man that's a lot of fucking spiders, I'd hate to go up against them ”

“So much venom. Even more webs. Oh my god”

TW: Trypophobia

Even though this one is supposed to be Arachnophobia a lot of people said it looks more like Trypophobia and that it attacked their Trypophobia

"Mr. Kwama, wouldn't you like some more of my delicious mud tea?"

That's what I imagine Dunmer kids are doing in their free time - throwing tea parties for all of Morrowind's eldricht horrors!

And obviously this iconic photo:

The Creature Awaits #94:

Each week I plan to feature an amazing creature, admiring God’s fantastic artistry.  Hopefully it’ll brighten someone’s day to see something new and interesting if they haven’t seen it before. : )

Welcome back to Green Month!

The Lichen Huntsman Spider

Scientific Name: Heteropoda boiei

Region: Malaysia and the islands of Borneo, Java and Sumatra in Indonesia

Size: About a 5" (12.7cm) leg span

Interesting Note:  It was once thought that huntsman spiders (family Sparassidae) actively chased people, but it turns out that they are actually of a completely non-aggressive and timid demeanor - preferring running away over biting, and if they do bite, they only have a very mild venom (though the bite itself can hurt a bit at first due to their size.)  The misconception seems to have stemmed from their apparent inability to discern the shape of a human from far away.  Though the feeling of being chased by one of these relatively large arachnids may be intimidating, it’s best to just let these gentle giants scurry past and find their next little cozy spot to nestle into. : )
