Yeah, it was probably the time I walked into the spider web.

Six-Eyed Sand Spider Burying Herself (Sicarius hahni) - YouTube

 

 

For anyone who is wondering... Sicarius Hahnii belongs to a very ancient clade of spiders whose fossils date back millions of years ago. Its also known as the six-eyed crab spider and is known for being extremely toxic. However, since it prefers dry sandy caves far away from human contact, death by its bite is very rare.

 

My brain has never been more conflicted between "that's cute" and "get away from me". It's like a green stop sign.

I know this is only a cartoon and we don't grab spiders and put them in our mouths to eat while we're sleeping, but you've got to wonder if spiders or flies don't enter our mouths while we're sleeping and we swallow them without knowing it.  However, I've heard insects are very nutritious.  😜 😈

In a way that's funny, and in another way it's not, since where I live is known to have a large number of brown recluse spiders - even if a few do tend to be extroverts.  😜

Isn't this sweet? 

Some species may keep 'em as pets, but others will happily eat them. Remember the Goliath Bird-eater I mentioned earlier in this thread? Yeah... they also eat frogs. :P

Now that's one trait I wouldn't want a spider to have - invisibility.
