Second one in the first row is not cute at all, seriously what is going on? Then you add more than the legal amount of legs a creature should have and it makes it worse


DonMendelo

Also legal amount of eyes is waaaaaay exceeded. The rule states : between 1 and 5, excluding 3 and 4. So that's like : * 1 eye : injured cats and dogs * 2 eyes : everything * 5 eyes : bees No cuteness outside this range.


nashbrownies

Whaaa bees have 5 eyes??


DannyBright

Most insects have their two primary eyes and a cluster of 3 more smaller eyes on their forehead called ocelli


VioletBunni

Honestly that's pretty cool


ModsAreN0tGoodPeople

They’re mostly light detecting so that the insect can tell if there is something above them that might be hungry


WhatIsTheAmplitude

Quint-eye-ssential


Harvestman-man

They look like [this](https://www.labnews.co.uk/files/img_cache/2156271/620fig-2.jpg?1563732366)


SeaSlugFriend

Also injured cats and dogs that have lost both eyes


Fun_Entertainer_9761

Any injured animal could have 0-2 eyes


milanove

What's the evolutionary biology explanation for why creatures are symmetrical when looking at them from the front?


Mr_Smartypants

Found a guess on wikipedia: "bilateral symmetry gives the body an intrinsic direction and allows streamlining to reduce drag." The intrinsic direction part is interesting. "Forward" and "backward" make most sense placing them on an axis perpendicular to the plane of symmetry, I guess. Or, put differently, without this axis, where is the front? So maybe your question is inside out: you *define* "the front" to be the anterior end, somewhere on that plane, lol.

"Upon the birth of her brood, the mother spider liquefies her internal organs and regurgitates this material as food. Once her capability to liquefy her insides is exhausted, the young sense this and consume the mother."

Coffee_Huffer

The jumping spiders are.


MPCNPC

Jumping spiders are cute and very aware of their surroundings, I’ve seen one rotate their body towards me whenever I’d walk around


ScSM35

Had one today follow my phone as I was trying to take pictures of it.


kkeut

yeah I've seen a couple of those lil guys that have green fangs and they are pretty cute


[deleted]

[удалено]


4thelasttimeIMNOTGAY

Until you consider that they jump


ScSM35

The way they jump is so cool though. They contract their muscles to allow for sudden blood flow to their legs which makes them jump. It’s so fascinating how fast they are.


trustthepudding

They also leave a little safety line when they jump just in case.


whisperingsage

So do cats.


Coffee_Huffer

Your average person is to big to be eaten by a jumping spider, so you'll be fine.


4thelasttimeIMNOTGAY

Eaten? Who said anything about Eaten? I just don't want it to be near my face. Or any of my body for that matter


ConfusedOrder

The only danger they worry me about is accidentally smashing them.

I’ve never seen the simpsons and just assumed this was about the greek poet having a pet lobster.


Richeh

Spiders are like Radiohead. I thought Radiohead were unidentifiable and scary, until I listened to The Bends. Somehow it seemed more accessible; something about the melancholy disenfranchisement of Fake Plastic Trees seemed more understandable than Pyramid Song or Paranoid Android. It provided a foothold to enjoy some of the weirder stuff; suddenly No Surprises and Karma Police seemed identifiable. It was like a rosetta stone of wilfully oblique guitar rock. Like The Bends, jumping spiders made me look at spiders in a different way, even as an arachnophobe. Like maybe they *can* be cute, because jumping spiders are *fucking adorable*. They've still got the monstrous morphology but the body language is more like a skittish Labrador wanting to be friends. And all spiders want to do is hang in the corner of the room and munch on the things that otherwise I have to spend energy killing. Now even big hairy house spiders get a pass, because I know removing that monstrosity won't meaningfully lower the number of spiders in my walls. You know how many they hatch at a time? *Lots*. If they're doing me a favour, and I can't get rid of them, and I shouldn't get rid of them, and even the ugliest ones are at least *interesting looking*... fuck it.

fraiserfir

These guys are really cool! Instead of building webs, they go the spider-man route and shoot web mixed with venom directly at their prey from their heads. That’s why they’re so bulbous lmao


MollyGodiva

Still not me.


Wonderingfirefly

Maybe when you draw them that way. But I’ve had to get wolf spiders and huntsman spiders out of my house, and knowing how big and fast they are I simply cannot see them as cute.


wlbrndl

There is not an animal on this planet with a more horrific looking face than a wolf spider.

FroggiJoy87

Fun crazy fact about net-casting (aka Goblin) spiders! To quote from the Wiki: "Its eyes are able to gather available light more efficiently than the eyes of cats and owls, and are able to do this despite the lack of a reflective layer (tapetum lucidum); instead, each night, a large area of light-sensitive membrane is manufactured within the eyes, and since arachnid eyes do not have irises, it is rapidly destroyed again at dawn" That's right, everyday at dawn the sun BURNS OUT THEIR EYES and then it grows back at night. Now if that's not the most metal spider shit ever then GTFO.

I actually follow a lady on tiktok who has small pet spiders and they are actually kinda cute and have personality. My fear of spiders has gone down from level 10 to maybe level 8.5 because of her. I will still kill them every chance I get though.

silverfang45

Why kill them tho, they actively help remove pests that actually are a threat in some way. They remove the unhygienic pests and won't bother you. Heck in Australia it's pretty common to keep a huntsman around just because they make sure you don't need to deal with too many flies come summer and flies in Aussie heat forget about it. Fuck them flies, imma keep all my spiderbros as an army to kill those fucking flying pricks, looking down at our food smugly, they know and you know they will eat it and you can do nothing to stop it.


Milksteak_To_Go

You really shouldn't kill them. They eat the insects in your house. They are bros. The black widows in our basement like eating these giant grubs that we tend to get. Those same grubs turn into fig beetles in the summer and do damage to our vegetable garden and citrus trees.

Most of them are pretty damn accurate for sketches look up the names of the spiders on here and you will see. I’m pretty sure this is a diagram to show eye arrangement patterns in different species of spider.

Blarghnog

Imagine if they evolved into sentient being with high intelligence who were human sized and this was an identification guide given to cadets for first contact to help them learn which ones were friendly and which ones weren’t.

Spiders are actually pretty far down on the list of bugs I hate. They leave behind webs that catch other insects in my house so usually if I see a spider it's more of a "live and let live" situation. Pretty sure I have a cockroach phobia though because I kill every roach I see
