you see, if you didn't know already I'm waiting for a partner visa to Australia. I came from a land of small spiders.

I am desperately attempted to level up my spider tolerance before moving there. I have a long way to go....

they can't hurt you

r do they want to

nor

promise

cross my heart

WTF THE SPIDER CAUGHT A BIRD!?

um...yes

oh, i fully understand that intellectually

in fact, i even appreciate what they do for getting rid of other bugs and such

it's just... it's like... somewhere deeeeeep within the brainstem

yeah...

I know

ut, I live in the tropics

but

you'll be okay down south

hehe that's why I asked where you lived!

btw i searched google pics for more images of the golden orb spider

i'm not sure that was a wise choice....

guy, face, giant fuckin' spider

*shudders*

laughs

I used to ride home through the park in the dark, ducking as I rode because the overhanging trees were full of golden orbs.

scawy!

But to be honest I've never seen one that looks that monsterous. That doesn't look like a golden orb to me - it looks at least twice as big.
