Some species of American false wolf spider
Yeah, thought this too. Identified a similair looking spider with an app once.
Big nope vibes.
A harmless bro.
The bite like wolfies? Because I had one hit me like when bee sting when I scared her up.
Yeah, probably. A bee sting is a pretty good comparison for spider bites in general, though with a very low chance of alergic reaction compared to bees or wasps. And that’s really where the danger is.
Otherwise it will just hurt for a bit and then go away.
Bees hurt way worse than these IMO. But I’m possibly mildly allergic to bees.
A spider that’s terrible at hiding
Ha! I thought it was on a paper towel or something until it actually moved the sand at the end.
Thanks for sharing this! I quite enjoyed it.
The choice to
show spoiler
muffle the microphone when the spider covered its head with sand
was a brilliant touch.
P.S. I wish Lemmy supported >!inline spoilers!<. The current spoiler markdown is pretty clunky.
