Nope

Who the hell looks there before they automatically reach to open their car door.  I certainly don't, so that would have been a total shock.  I hope it wasn't a poisonous spider.

That's a formidable looking thing.  I'll bet its a tarantula.  

I happened to kill a spider tonight.  It's body was about the same size as a large paper clip and with its legs extended it was about the size of a large lid to a jelly/jam jar.  I imagine it must have snuck into the house the last time I went out earlier, because I'm sure I would have noticed something that size before.

This one is from Australia, so the odds are....?

SHAWN? SHAWN, IT’S ME, MARY. CAN YOU HEAR ME?

JESUS, YOU GUYS, HE SMELLS LIKE A DISTILLERY. I’M GLAD HE PASSED THE BAR EXAM, BUT DID YOU HAVE TO LET HIM DRINK LIKE THIS? YOU COULD HAVE AT LEAST TAKEN OFF HIS SHOES. OH, AND HE’S STILL GOT GUM IN HIS MOUTH. THAT’S JUST GREAT. HE COULD CHOKE.

SHAWN? SHAWN, IT’S MARY. YOU FELL ASLEEP WITH GUM IN YOUR MOUTH. I’M JUST GOING TO GET IT OUT FOR YOU, OKAY?

Unless Mary is the spider that's talking to him, Shawn's got more problems than just having gum in his mouth.

Of course it would be from Australia.  Isn't that where 80% of the spider's live?  At least 80% of the poisonous spiders.

Australian Spider Matriphagy

Matriphagy has been observed in Australian spider species Diaea Ergandro. The mother allows her babies to suckle blood from her leg joints until she has weakened and (usually) dies. This prevents early cannibalism between the spiderlings and thus resulting in more of the clutch surviving.

Just so you know, I try to always post a different/new spider picture( 🤞 ). Only once did I post a fake(glass) one. Some of the jokes are repeats, but unless you follow every day, the odds are you haven't noticed( 🤞 ).

Note: That glass one looked so real, I'll have figure out which one it was and and get back to you on it.

Thanks,

Scientists Target New Painkillers From Spider Venom

The greenbottle blue tarantula (<em>Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens</em>) is one of seven species of spiders whose venom Australian researchers found has potential painkilling properties. The creature is native to Venezuela and has some of the most dramatic coloring of any spider species.
