Cynical Buzzfeed commenters who call every crazy photo “fake,” we need you now more than ever! Let's make that another ten or so years until we finally rent Arachnophobia. Yeah, that seems reasonable.
Who would have thought it was possible? A real live spider that's actually cute. To be fair, it's still scary as all hell and probably full of evil intentions, but somehow it manages to be totally precious at the same time! I'm going to have some positively adorable nightmares tonight.
Science Buzz A handful of spiders were shot into space for a study on how they spin their webs in zero gravity. I can't help but imagine this as the first mistake in some sci-fi movie about spider-aliens taking over the International Space Station. Gives me the heebie-jeebies!
A Golden Orb Spider that is probably as big as my hand was caught on camera actually eating a native Australian Finch. I hate spiders, so this completely terrifies me. At the same time, I’ve gotta hand it to Nature for totally flipping the old food chain upside down.
Tech Buzz Ever wanted to have a fully customizable pet spider walking around your computer screen? Me neither. But now, you can, with Virtual Spider! By adjusting spider attributes like spider color, spider speed, leg size and body scale, Virtual Spider really makes your arachnophobic dreams come true.
Science Buzz Biologist, Jason Bond discovered a new species of trapdoor spider which he has named Myrmekiaphila neilyoungi in honor of his favorite musician. Young joins the ranks of the late rock ‘n’ roll legend Roy Orbison who has a whirligig beetleOrectochilus orbisonorum named to honor him. I’m not sure if this makes spiders lovable or even creepier.
