Creepy spider!

AHHHHHH!!!! I thought that was a joke picture at first.

At least it's cute.

ya, what a cute jumping spider!
They are adorable, and love to nibble on ears!

That spider was only the rear guard. The remaining spiders had already burrowed into her brain and are now controlling her every move.

I assume 'dwelling' in this context means 'planting eggs inside'.

They put those in your ear when you arrive.

The spider was just trying to scratch her itch for her.

WOW! A... squiggle?

It looks like a scary ghost to me!

Can't it be both?

This isn't a spider, and it's not creepy (unless you consider all insects creepy), but I figured this was the best thread to post it.

I saw this little guy - with huge rear legs - crawling around the side of the swimming pool in my backyard, so I took a quick photo with my phone.

For perspective, its body is about 1", rear legs about 2" to 2.5", and another 2" for its antennae.

The Trogloraptor, or "Cave Robber," found by amateur spelunkers in an Oregon cave, is the 1st new spider family named in North America since the 1880s.

It's like a spider put together by a 7 year old.

"This spider needs more fangs. I know! Let's put fangs on the side of its head."

Oh, if only the L in that name were an D, it would be a spider destined for greatness.

That's what I meant.

Unfortunately, my phone had other plans.

Ru ro. I guess I know not to venture into any caves around here.

It's alright, they have already begun the migration to your crawl space\attic\basement\dungeon\ear canal. Trust me, I'm a professional.

Funny, this is what we'd always find in and around our pool when I was a kid.

But you threw them back because they were too small to eat, right?

Not always...

Appears to be a particular breed of grasshopper.

But they are arachnids!
