These guys livr around me and love to weave their huge pretty webs low in the trees near a streetlamp. I think this might be a deliberate choice to catch moths.They also hang dead leaves from the bottom.of their webs as structural anchors.

I’m serious when I say that I don’t know if you’re joking. I’ve never even seen a “[CW: arachnophobia]” before.
People don’t post a lot of spider pictures here. Might not be a bad idea to cw a spider.
Okay.
Forbidden dessert.

I don’t know if this is lethally poisonous but it looks like it is so I’m not touching it.
Oh sick I used to see these little guys sometimes growing up
Reminds me of the spider queen on Doctor Who
