tw: arachnophobia, and insect talk
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
earlier this week a giant house spider or a eratigena atrica came up through one of our vents because of the heat we went through
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
and my mom freaked out because it was bigger than most adult wolf spiders and i tried to get it out and we ended up having to move couches etc
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
which is really me moving couches
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
but we did safely relocate the guy who was as scared as she was
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
lmfao and she texted my brother about me being a "granola ass bitch," and i just remembered that
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
and it made me laugh
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
like i want to make that a username someday
𝒸𝒽𝑒𝑒𝓇𝓁𝑒𝒶𝒹𝑒𝓇🎀
lmao that's amazing.
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
yeah rofl
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
i was dyin
𝒸𝒽𝑒𝑒𝓇𝓁𝑒𝒶𝒹𝑒𝓇🎀
I bet
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
like look i try to give spiders the benefit of the doubt i knew it wasn't venomous when i saw it but it was trying its best to run and
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
my tolerance only goes so far
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
we got him out in the nick of time though
𝒸𝒽𝑒𝑒𝓇𝓁𝑒𝒶𝒹𝑒𝓇🎀
Yea I generally try to give them the benefit of the doubt too. The only ones that tend to sneak into the house are the little harmless jumpy guys and daddy longlegs, but the kid is terrified of them.
𝒸𝒽𝑒𝑒𝓇𝓁𝑒𝒶𝒹𝑒𝓇🎀
We do have black widows living in the access space under the house but I've never seen one inside.
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
Doodlebuginette: we had a pantropical pair of jumpers right on the left side of our door on top of our standup freezer on the patio and the last time i saw the male he was missing three legs so something must have tried to get him
𝒸𝒽𝑒𝑒𝓇𝓁𝑒𝒶𝒹𝑒𝓇🎀
oh nooo
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
i saw the female looking at me earlier this morning and idk if she was wondering where he hubby was or not. i hope he's okay but ... i can't look out for my outdoor babies every minute of every day
𝒸𝒽𝑒𝑒𝓇𝓁𝑒𝒶𝒹𝑒𝓇🎀
yea, you can only do so much!
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
we have black widows here or false widows and i've had to kill their eggs bc they love laying them by my dog door or in areas where i'm doing things
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
but overall i try to leave things alone
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
my mentality is i'd hate to be snuffed out for being in the wrong place at the wrong time
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
but yeah i mean there are rules
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
like i've escorted a recluse out but he came close to being smashed bc he kept trying to run and i wasn't gonna let him get lost in our home because we're all immune deficient and mom is chronically ill
𝒸𝒽𝑒𝑒𝓇𝓁𝑒𝒶𝒹𝑒𝓇🎀
yea, same! I usually try to just put whoever sneaks in back outside or just leave them be.
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
but he let me get his ass just in time.
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
like with the venomous types they get a two strike type thing
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
bc i'm not gonna lose you. i just won't
𝒸𝒽𝑒𝑒𝓇𝓁𝑒𝒶𝒹𝑒𝓇🎀
oh for sure.
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
the only insect i'm kill on sight with is
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
roaches and i still feel bad about it
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
but they're so big and so prevalent out here i can't
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
i am legitimately somewhat afraid of them
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
they also fly
𝒸𝒽𝑒𝑒𝓇𝓁𝑒𝒶𝒹𝑒𝓇🎀
I don't even kill wasps on sight if I feel like there's a chance I can chase them back out. I just don't want them in my house because I've been stung multiple times and that shit sucks
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
Doodlebuginette: i have to kill wasps on sight one because my mom is allergic and two if they get in my house tehy have a chance of hurting the lizard
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
lizards**
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
otherwise i'd try to get em out too but they're on my no-fly list too
𝒸𝒽𝑒𝑒𝓇𝓁𝑒𝒶𝒹𝑒𝓇🎀
that's valid tbh!
𝒸𝒽𝑒𝑒𝓇𝓁𝑒𝒶𝒹𝑒𝓇🎀
my patience for trying to escort them out is very limited though you know... lol
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
Doodlebuginette: yeah every time i find wasps in the house they are literally flying over my dragons tanks and so sadly this is their last trip
𝓭𝓾𝓬𝓱𝓮𝓼𝓼
I had no idea wasps were bad news/dangerous with lizards and beardies in the house. Good to know!! Also I love this spider relocation story 😊 I love having spiders in my house, but have never seen one of the kind you mentioned!
𝓭𝓾𝓬𝓱𝓮𝓼𝓼
Spiders kill and eat bugs, so they’re welcome with me and my boyfriend. I have cried before upon having to kill a black widow in my parent house, but there was a puppy in the home at the time...plus, deadly spider. I just hate killing anything.
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
𝓭𝓾𝓬𝓱𝓮𝓼𝓼 : i hate killing anything too and idk if wasps are harmful or not but i'm willing to be they are/can be and i can't afford to risk it
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
and i do try to rescue everything that i can other than the above mentioned
𝓭𝓾𝓬𝓱𝓮𝓼𝓼
Oh yes and your mom being allergic is enough reason to be 100% safe. Like they help pollinate and are clearly
Important to ecosystems buuuuut they can be quite aggressive so we just can’t risk that
𝓭𝓾𝓬𝓱𝓮𝓼𝓼
Me too! Love knowing when other people do all the rescue attempts too
𝓭𝓾𝓬𝓱𝓮𝓼𝓼
The lizards must be protected too. They so cute. I love
Seeing their photos.
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
𝓭𝓾𝓬𝓱𝓮𝓼𝓼 : i'm glad!! i will never regret rescuing them even though rn i am having to hand feed my nimbus
StupidSexyV⚠der
you need a spider grabber?
➴ɨռȶʀʊsɨʋɛ ȶɦօȶ
StupidSexyV⚠der : i don't have one i kinda just use whatever i have on hand
