It’s the only way to be sure.

I’m not at all arachnophobic - I’ll often pick spiders up with my hand to put them outside - but I don’t think I could let this one crawl on me without crying.

MyFriendGodzilla@lemmy.world on 11 Apr 01:58 collapse

They’re like jumping spiders that cant jump… pretty chill ladies i believe.

AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world on 11 Apr 02:01 collapse

I don’t think that changes anything.

For the curious, the original text says “cute” in Japanese (the infamous “kawaii”)

BellaDonna@mujico.org on 11 Apr 17:11 next collapse

What? No it doesn’t. かわいい is usually written in Hiragana. I’ve never seen it written this way. 可愛い I’ve never seen it with these Kanji. I mean it kinda makes sense, with what 愛 means, but I’ve never seen this.

SpaceScotsman@startrek.website on 11 Apr 17:38 collapse

jisho.org/word/可愛い

those kanji in that order are read as “kawaii”

No one’s commented anything that indicates to me whether or not this is real. If so, what’s the species?

fossilesque@mander.xyz on 11 Apr 16:27 collapse

It’s called the velvet spider. :)

Eresidae; Gandanameno sp.

Oh dang, I thought the title was just a cute description.

JokeDeity@lemm.ee on 11 Apr 16:29 collapse

Any idea what specific species? Looks like there’s a lot of velvet spiders from that wiki.

fossilesque@mander.xyz on 11 Apr 16:31 collapse

I updated the comment. Eresidae; Gandanameno sp.

Thanks!

TPTheWiper@feddit.org on 11 Apr 16:57 next collapse

Female velvet spiders exhibit a remarkable type of maternal care unique among arachnids. Upon the birth of her brood, the mother spider liquefies her internal organs and regurgitates this material as food. Once her capability to liquefy her insides is exhausted, the young sense this and consume the mother.

Did humans inadvertently body shame a spider?

It’s like a fuchikoma/tachikoma from Ghost in the Shell.
