made this NSFW so as not to trigger arachnophobic comrades. Where my fellow arachnist anarchists at? This little guy is the spinybacked orb weaver. Probably my favorite species of spider. Funny thing I dont like insects but spiders are awesome.

social spiders collectively build nests and share their catches, and have no hierarchy.
That’s cool I didn’t know that. Wait...social spiders. Fuck I’m torn between fearing their evolution to a point we can’t morally interfere and also going that’s dope as fuck.
I thought the octopus was the only social invertebrate other than hive animals.

Is there a way to open a link with reader view or no images or something? I’m not kidding when I say I’ll have a bad time if there’s a massive image of a camel spider or something
there are two images on the page, one is of a bunch of little spiders in a web together, taken from kinda far away and kinda blurry, the other is at the bottom of the page and its a single small spider. Nothing giant and terrifying, but I really dont know how much you can take because personally I can look at stuff with big spiders without issue.
That sounds like something I can handle. Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know what to expect. I appreciate your willingness to take the time to make a descriptive and helpful comment for the sake of somebody else.
glad to help
I read the article and it was very interesting. The communal web thing was of particular interest. I didn’t exactly Appreciate learning that swarming was a thing lol
