The moths. Most likely not to eat me.
The beetles and the bees won’t eat you either. They can harm you in other ways though.
If I can’t get Absolute Radience in godhome a cafeteria will have to do.
Moths!
Or maybe bees. I have always wanted to hug a bumblebee.
Bees 100%
For one, because they’re bees. Also, because they’re the most distance from the spiders (I have a phobia lol)
No kidding, bunch of weirdos around here
Now it’s just me, and the bees
Moths. AKA goth butterflies.
Not only that, the only thing that makes them spooky and startling is that they randomly fly around like a dumbass towards anything light related.
When they’re just sitting still being chill they’re actually quite adorable.
You mean glam butterflies
Actually butterflies are moths
outside
Spoken like someone who’s never had the privilege of holding a pink-toed tarantula’s paw-pad.
Maybe outside are the ants, millipedes, and flies that skip lunch bcs they are too cool for school?
…Right next to the oil furnace in the basement, trying to figure out how to rig it to blow and burn the place down.
Christian Slater calling any minute
Murder the bugs they deserve death!
OK Hornet
Team arachnids!
No way. What’s their name?
That’s a she.
Woooah where did you get your tarantula sexing powers? (Sexing them is a tad difficult) :P This one is indeed a female. Care to suggest a name for her?
Eloise sounds kinda charming.
She’s a bit bulkier than a male judging from the photo. Ofc it could also be true for some males but it was a solid guess ngl. She’s gorgeous tho.
Nice name suggestion!
As far as I’m aware, males get the lanky look after they reach maturity and molt for the last time, since feeding stops being a priority for them; pedipalps also change and thats an sure sign of a mature male T. I think they are indistinguishable before that?
This one was actually pretty skinny when that pic was taken since she had recently molted . So far all of my mature T’s have turned out to be females so… Maybe I don’t have keen eyes ti spot the males.
My other T. vagans’ ( same species) name is Garambullo, inspired by the very delicious fruit of this cactus. Kinda looks like the species signature red rump.
But this one doesn’t have a name… Any suggestions? It’s a female but I’m sure she’s fine with whatever XD.
I’ve never seen cactus fruit like that before, initially I thought it was a joke image and someone had taken a cactus and put a blueberry on each needle or something. Wild.
Oh it’s real, I promise. But it’s an endemic plant, not well known outside the region; that’s why I attached some pics ;). Not your typical catus fruit.

Keepin it botannical, good suggestion.

My bad, that’s the flash reflecting on the urticating hairs. under mormal light conditions those leg segments look just the tiniest bit lighter that the upper leg.

Hell yeah!
Bees because bees are usually pretty chill and I like chill. Especially the bumblebees.
Tangent, there is a fun fantasy book series by Adrian Tchaikovsky where all the main characters are humanoids with bug qualities. So basically spiderman, antman, mantisman, etc. It is entertaining when you mix fantasy tropes (dueling for honour!) with mantis arm spikes…
The Insect-kindens! And it is quite a lengthy series, at that, if anyone is looking for something new to get into (not to mention he actually finishes series, unlike another fantasy writer…)
My first thought was Patrick Rothfuss but I think you are referring to Martin. I’m sure the list is long of unfinished fantasy series, whichever book you are waiting for I hope your year is 2026!
Indeed, I was referring to Martin. I’m not holding my breath, as there are supposed to be two more books, but perhaps at least one will appear at some point!
I actually only read the first four. Felt like a natural stopping point there. Pretty cool series though :)
Adrian Tchaikovsky also has the Children of Time series in which spiders are the main characters. A very fun read!
I would definitely want to be friends with the mantises in case they go postal one day
They definitely look the most stylish
Mantises even eat their own partners. How safe do you think being friends with them will be?
Listen, nobody knows what happened to Stacey’s boyfriend’s head, it’s just an unsolved mystery, ok!!
(Don’t look in the lunch box.)
Lol. We run on opposite wavelengths. If the mantises go postal I want to be as far away as possible.
At one of those empty tables
Mantises. Fuck aphids
I wouldn’t dare to sit here as a human. I’m too big and would probably squish them all by accident.
But if I got to choose to be one, I’d go for the spiders. You get:
- two extra legs over the rest
- your own supply of crafting materials
- lots of eyes
- and a cozy place to relax in

I have a decent relationship with mantids already. I’d sit with them.
Love how you snuck in the correction there. Classy 👌 Have my up vote. ❤️✌️
