The Creepy Crawley, slithery and all misunderstood pets, wildlife and nightmares Thread (honey badgers and raccoons welcome) 🤣

Are you immortal?

Even then you wouldn’t find a chink in my armour, as it’s Adamintine impervious to all mortal threats, although, sugar, vinegar and water spray really fucks it up

I am the god of creepy crawlies, well not the actual God, more like the lesser demi god third class twice removed, basically a human, well sort of in the loosest terms.

Desist with your nastiness or I will summon a plague of council workmen, who will achieve nothing other getting in your way and totally fucking up your game plan

Do you come under South Yorkshire or Derbyshire, just so I know which council to contact to send their duty FUBs around to create havoc?

@Lezourez ok time out friends. Let’s get back to the moth. Are you telling me the female has no wings and stuck at home raising the kids? While the male can fly the f&&k anywhere it wants. Humph! What was Mother Nature thinking?

Yes, once they’ve mated both die in a few days.

@JazzyS explained that very nicely.

I actually wanted to use a different emoji for your post - not saying which one, you shall forever wonder about that.
:squid:

PS: I hate this thread. It’s way too dangerous a territory. Every time you answer me @Lezourez I risk stumbling onto a nasty picture. You are doing that on purpose!

No, well perhaps, you’ve left yourself wide open.
But, if everyone agrees to use blur for any disturbing pictures your very welcome to Stay

Your very welcome to stay anyway, but with the occasional risk of being scared shitless :spider:

If you want I’ll stop tagging you?

Your very welcome :grin:

I can’t imagine anyone being afraid of the cutest, teeniest tiniest spider I’ve ever seen!

But I know they’re out there :joy:

It’s a Juvenile common house spider or American house spider (Parasteatoda tepidariorum) :spider_web:
They only grow up to 10mm ish and are beautiful with the banding on the legs, as they get older their body turns brown
Possibly my favourite native spooder 2nd only to the Zebra jumping spider (Salticus scenicus) which rarely get to 9mm in the UK :grinning_face:



By the way how do you blur images, Holy-squid don’t like spooders :open_mouth:

I thought to humour @Lezourez with another spider pic. Turns out on closer inspection they have six legs and two feelers! Pic taken in the Texas Hill Country 7 year ago.

Edit: Google lens helped me determine them as wheel bug nymphs, which are a type of assassin beetle with a nasty sting. But deemed beneficial as they prey on pests. :student:t3:

This is a juvenile Southern green shield bug before transitioning into adult armour. So cool :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: Never spotted the juvenile before.
