I see a spider wearing a top hat and holding a saxophone.

Maybe he's playing for and hoping to attract Gnat King Cole,

I'm seeing the saxophone, but not so sure about the top hat... just looks like a black square

I probably didn't because I've been having trouble with my vision again.

If you have severe arachnophobia, best avoid watching this movie trailer.

Oh, that looks interesting and I can wait to see it.

Looks like a possible case of date rape about to happen.

Hmmm... date rape followed by cannibalism - the Hannibal Lecter special on the menu.

Even those this spider's legs seem to be having erections, I still only count 'six' legs.  What's up with this?  Isn't it a 'true' spider? 

? There are 7 and a hole where a leg used to be.

I didn't think that faint line on the right-rear was a leg - I just thought it was something in the background, and it didn't dawn on me that this spider was an amputee.

I don’t even know why I read the topic. I am so afraid of spiders 😂

I was the same way, but following this thread taught me that there aren't many spiders to be afraid of, at least if you're not in Australia.  Needless to say, I've crossed visiting Australia off my bucket list.

A very wise choice. For me it's not the toxicity of their venom. I couldn't care less. I'm just deathly afraid, I freeze when I see one bigger than a contact lens.

Now that was a big spider and it fell from the ceiling without a parachute, yet the couple seemed calm until that happened and then suddenly the video stopped.  I wonder if they were having a stomping party after that happened.

I found a good one for us over at YouTube.

If that was an egg sac that spider was clinging to, then that guy is going to have more problems than just one large spider.

I'm not sure if this kid has guts or if he's just crazy:

As I said originally, on this one. He is too young to be considered crazy or stupid. I think he is pretty damn brave, but do advise a different career path going forwards.

Interesting.  No venom or silk glands.  And they live as a group - all relatives??? 

I don't know who their predators are, but the couldn't get much from eating them - they're all legs.
