BEHOLD!!! The “Sparklemuffin”, a variety of peacock spider.  
It is about 5 mm long, and dances a distinctive dance involving wildly flailing legs and rump shaking.

It’s just an itsy bitsy spider…  
Tavi: Itsy bitsy my flank!

@HighRollerHydra  
Nah. Nothing that preys on spider-sized creatures are afraid of them (when it comes to defending themselves, spiders are actually kind of weak). Pretty much every horrific aspect of a spider’s appearance serves a specific and highly useful function. The many, itchy legs that can grip nearly any surface (that keep twitching after they’re pulled off), the hyper-sensitive hairs, the many eyes, the carapace… the hollow, poisonous, fluid-sucking fangs…  
They’re enormously successful predators, you know. But they don’t eat humans. Yet.

@nexus009  
Oooooor, they look like that to frighten off predators?

@HighRollerHydra  
It’s not their fault they were born like that.

If most spiders aren’t even harmful to humans, why do they look so friggin’ hideous?!

@dsagent  
x_x Nope.avi.

thats how i react to bugs.

There are no poisonous spiders in great Britain but I read Take a Break (reality mag) and someone said they had to have their arm amputated cos of a common house spider.

@Perteks  
That face just begs, “ I can has spider thread?”

@HighRollerHydra  
Eyup.

@dsagent  
(charges flamethrower)

/polymorphs into a sword spider and devours Vinyl.

@Prof.NightJack  
Have fun getting bitten.

@Lawful Girly  
It kills it’s prey with cuteness.

@Perteks  
I see natural selection still hasn’t weeded you out.

@Perteks  
I find spiders fascinating, but I have to admit they are the most freakishly alien-looking creatures on the planet.  
And then there are, you know, the fangs.

@Prof.NightJack  
I agree. I think the big, fuzzy tarantulas are actually kind of cute. Only the slow, docile ones, though…

Understandable, I find the most smaller spiders scary but the bigger ones I don’t.  
 
Hi fella.

@HighRollerHydra  
Intimidation.

@Perteks  
If they’re harmless, WHY do they look scary?

@HighRollerHydra  

 
Srsly I don’t know how ppl can be scared of them they are like hamsters both fluffy :D

@Neapolitanpony  
The spider is allergic to blood and dies.

Screw that, my sister and I are terrified of them!
