they’re like tiny 8-legged cats how can anyone hate them
Spiders are huge derps, pass it on.
My dad used to work as a mechanic in Arizona and he said that wild tarantulas would just wander into the shop and try and cuddle with the mechanics under the trucks. Spiders really dig car exhaust smell for some reason and they would be like “ah yes this human smells nice let me sit on your face while you’re working or perhaps climb into your pocket and see what you have” and the mechanics would keep shooing the spiders out but the spiders would follow them back like “No why would you leave me human friend??”
I love how half this site is all “AAAAAAAAAAAH SPIDER BURN THE WHOLE HOUSE DOWN!” and the other half is all “d’aww, what a cutie-pie.” Like no other creatures have this polarized of a reaction to them.
Except humans
seeing spiders do “cute” things is pretty nice for people like me who have arachnophobia tbh
one of my ABSOLUTE favorite moth species out there has to be the madagascan sunset moth
its such a GORGEOUS moth that not a lot of people seem to know about and i just??? god what a beauty
some more:
I drew one of these for class once, and they’re really fun becuase you get to use all your neon colors and sparkly gel media for once. My professor described it as “It’s like Lisa Frank made a moth.”
Can you imagine being that bird? You see a big falling dot off in the distance, so you go to investigate. And it’s a human. Just, like, hanging out, in the middle of the sky. Plumbing toward earth at terminal velocity.
“Huh, that’s weird” you think to yourself.
You land on them. They seem nonplussed by their predicament.
But you’re a busy bird, you’ve got places to be. So you just fly off. Good luck, crazy human. Hope you make it.
i enjoy that every single human’s reaction to penguin is unrestrained delight
And penguins lack large terrestrial predators, so their reaction to humans tends to be, “HELLO STRANGE GIANT PENGUINS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? DO YOU HAVE ANY FISH?”
