bogleech:

Before this catches on with miserable adult babies reblogging to only add “KILL IT WITH FIRE” or some other idiotic, unfunny meme:
This is a mature female spider of the Nephila genus. I’m not sure the exact species, but members of this genus are also known as “golden silk orb weavers.” Their yellow-orange silk can be used to make golden cloth, like in this tapestry.
The bite of a Nephila isn’t serious. Wikipedia describes the worst case scenario - localized pain or a more severe allergic reaction - but most bitten will only experience a little itching. Like any spider, they only bite in self defense or when forcibly pressed against skin, and these big females are especially docile. I’ve held a related species on two occasions, they don’t scare very easily.
They’re so laid back, in fact, and so insistent on remaining in the same web, that these are the spiders some cultures have used as mosquito guards, deliberately setting them up to spin webs in open windows or over the top of a baby’s crib.
You can trust spiders with babies. Don’t be an asshat about your phobia plz. (By which I mean it’s perfectly okay to have a phobia and be afraid, but you don’t need to hate all spiders and wish they were all dead they didn’t do anything but get born spiders)

Hello miss! The names jake english and thank you for taking the time to follow me! Todays been quite chilly for the most part and possibly not all that eventful but if i may can i ask hows the day been on your counterpart?

Hello, Jake! Today has gone rather well. It’s a 8it rainy and terri8ly humid, 8ut I suppose that’s to 8e expected on a pir8te ship. As for the eventfulness, today has 8een quite the adventure. John has happened to 8oard the ship, though Meenah has also 8een quite grating. Actually, recently quite a few people have hopped aboard. Not to mention the many “volunteers” who’ve tagged along! It’s 8een wonderful, all in all. How have you been fairing recently?
