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? 1 1

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. Edited March 18 by Bill W 2 1

Needless to say, I've crossed 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. 2 1

I wonder if they were having a stomping party after that happened. 2
