Spiders are extremely special because of their curiosity. They are the only "insect" that will ever present themselves to you and try to meet you.
They are also the only insect that will ever try to scare you into submission. Often a spider will chase you around the house if you let it. Not even a mantis will pursue you over territory.
Spiders also see human beings as sources of warmth and associate us with life and shelter.
Any night of your life you can wake up and find Spiders sleeping at your feet
They are very good creatures and they will never actually kill a healthy adult human being. Not even the black widow. There is however a spider in Iraq that will steal the hair off your head as you sleep and run away with it to make a nest. If you interrupt it can indeed kill in one bite.
Spiders don't listen with ears either they listen with their body hair. Also a spider will usually remain still when threatened and hope camouflage protects them. They are extremely passive in nature and never move around big creatures until they are settled and fall asleep. They never close their eyes and their lives are short, but they might spend extended lengths of time, weeks even simply sitting and waiting and observing everything around them. Eventually they may find the courage to come up to you but they don't usually accept dead food or droplets of water.
The way a man or woman deals with a spider is also one of the most telling things about their character. Do they have empathy, do they have courage, do they flinch, do they stay calm when scared, or cry and run away. Do they scream and holler, do they laugh hysterically as they try to smash the spider(it can quickly become a game to groups of people especially in social gatherings, while it is of course the greatest misery imaginable for the spider) much worse than encountering a cat.
Astaroths other animal is the chartreuse green tree viper. Also Spiderman In my opinion is an homage to Astaroth. there is small chance i am wrong and aside from this i have no advice for you
good luck
I had a brown in my hotel room a couple months back. It scared me because i was trying to catch him and i didn't want to get bit. if necrosis sets in you are fucked. But i just couldn't hurt him so i found a way to contain him untill i brought him outside the next morning to set in the grass. all bugs and critters i will pick up and pet and put back in trees (i wont snuggle or pet the poisonous ones lol) if its a mosquito tick or flea all bets are off.
Long Storytime rant ahead
I had a
friend at my mom's house, and they did the laughing and screaming and stomping thing when they found him.
I was already on thin ice about to get kicked out so I couldn't do anything. Just had to let my beautiful little buddy die. He had started "sleeping" around me and I really liked it alot, but when they got ahold of him they were all
"OH my God it was a tarantula!" I wanted to tie them up and light them on fire honestly.
They had the audacity to throw his barely dead body right on the top of the already overflowing trash can, waiting for me to wake up to clean up the house. So of course I had to see it. Such slobs they won't even clean their own messes They didn't even kill him fully I don't remember if I fully stomped him out or not. almost ended up on 60 mins over this shit..
he looked like a small brown recluse with suction cup feet and no markings, it was something else I'm pretty sure but idk.i think brown recluse get a bad rep, it used to be the black widow, now everybody knows the black widow rumors were all bullshit. I don't think it will be long before the rumors about the flesh eating venom is exposed as another exaggeration. Spiders don't just give their full dose of venom unless you hurt them badly I don't think.
He was actually curled up in a ball really small snoozing behind my keyboard one time, and I reached out to adjust it for typing and I accidentally poked him, and he disappeared for like a whole week. Serious personality this creature had, more than a dog honestly. I would have saved him if I could. I already did the first time, my ugly family had him trapped on the ceiling but they were too stupid to get a chair, and too uncoordinated to hit him with a sandal. I grabbed a piece of paper and carried him out to my patio, knowing it basically meant condemning him to death, I looked to see if my family was watching but it was too dark and they couldn't see me. I look down and see he's off the paper so I turn around to go back inside and I realize he stuck himself on the bottom side of the paper, so I just carried him in and put him in the closet where he sat in a cardboard box for a couple days. I think he met his doom like 3 maybe 4 months after I first met him.
All I really learned from this story is that a tiny spider has infinitely more courage than me, I could have ran out and gotten between my family and saved him but it would have been my ass, and I had woke up to hearing "smash it smash it fuuuhck" not much time to think. I just hoped it wasn't mine and then they said how he was huge and looked like a tarantula(past tense) and I just started crying.
Also fuck Mosquitoes and ticks. Disgusting little jew creatures. There has never been a greedier and more selfish creature since the jew itself.
