  • It’s cool to see that they interviewed David Moellendorf for the article. He has a species of tarantula (Aphonopelma moellendorfi) named for him. I was able to purchase a spiderling from his shop a couple years ago.

    • The thought of owning a spider....you're brave lmao

      • Tarantulas are just big old dorks, going about their dorky tarantula tasks in their dorky little tarantula lives.

        • I'm definitely a live and let live type with spiders but they do creep me out though.

          I once had a wolf spider chilling in my bathroom for a few days. He was cool
