Imagine if these things were huge. Like horse sized, or even duck sized.

Don't joke about that shit bro, last time they got that big they killed my great grandfather.

I'm pretty sure if these things were horse sized that the human race would never have made it out of caves.

If these things eat cockroaches they are either 1) insanely fast or 2) ambush predators, and still probably very fast.

I think I'd rather go toe to toe with a velociraptor.

I saw one catch a silverfish by literally jumping off the roof onto it and gobbling it up in seconds. I'm appalled to this day by the sheer brutality.

Dude (or dudette) they fucking WERE.

Usually extremely fast and venomous

No thank you, I don't want to imagine this please

Have you ever seen starship troopers?

I see these leggy boys in my basement all the time. Wolf spiders, leggy boys, and me are allies. I often have to save the spiders from my cats. Damn things suck at not dying to cats. Never seen my cats kill one of these tho.

Get rid of their food, they go away.

Not saying you should do that… but if, you find the wolf spiders are assholes that like to run across your face while you’re sleeping, for example…

Hahahaha. Jeez I hope not. I love the little guys but I'd flip the fuck out. I drop them down into my basement, usually never see them again tho sometimes they make their way up to the main house.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Yeah. I’m okay with spiders or the leggy bois.

As long as they’re over… there.

I have gecko(s) instead, and I need to stop my dad from destroying them
