Also The Spider Is Ok :) - Tumblr Posts

local australian man terrorised by very harmless tiny insectoid creature that is so small it would otherwise be almost unnoticeable (ok tbf huntsman spiders aren't ''harmless'' per se but they wouldn't bite you unless you really provoked them to. still tho. harmless) also the spider is ok :) i captured him in a jar and put him outside and he has now burrowed himself in a potted plant <3 he's actually really adorable but the problem is that i am TERRIFIED of spiders so i was just like switching from going ''hi little fella you're so cute can you please get in the jar'' to going 'wgAT THE FUCK HOLY SHIT'' every time he got scared and moved this is the closest i have ever gotten to touching a huntsman spider ever weirdest thing is that i think this spider was in my room before. like i found a baby spider a couple weeks ago and here it is again i thought it just like. vanished and went somewhere else as spiders do but he was apparently in my room the whole time........ but yeah. i have like. the weirdest inner dilemma with spiders cause like. i like spiders. but i'm also very scared of them. but they're cute. but they're also very visually distressing. but they're helpful creatures to keep in your home. but they're also very sneaky and could jumpscare you on accident and also i don't want to have a spider in my room because what if i don't know that it's there and it gets hurt..... my room is so messy and i'm so clumsy that i'm afraid i'd hurt the poor thing unknowingly i love spiders but i also have like 10 layers of fear keeping me from getting close to one like that encounter was the closest i've gotten to a huntsman spider. apart from the bathroom jumpscare incident spider huntsman huntsman spider arachnophobia also update: the big huntsman that was living in the kitchen is back..... he's ok though he can stay there he's a good bug catcher and i love him :) he's very dusty and gangly and strange i love him very much he scares me sometimes but he is my little buddy
