At a table by myself, with everyone making fun of my laughably low number of legs
I’m staying out. At that size, many of those are just terrifying, even if they are cool when much smaller than me.
Moths. AKA goth butterflies.
Not only that, the only thing that makes them spooky and startling is that they randomly fly around like a dumbass towards anything light related.
When they’re just sitting still being chill they’re actually quite adorable.
Actually butterflies are moths
You mean glam butterflies
The moths. Most likely not to eat me.
If I can’t get Absolute Radience in godhome a cafeteria will have to do.
The beetles and the bees won’t eat you either. They can harm you in other ways though.
At one of the tables without giant bugs occupying all the seats
Moths!
Or maybe bees. I have always wanted to hug a bumblebee.
Bees 100%
No kidding, bunch of weirdos around here
Now it’s just me, and the bees
Mantises. I love those things. We like to find them in the garden and sometimes pick them up and let them crawl all over us.
As a person from a sensible country without praying mantis running freely around outside in nature, this has very much changed my opinion on them!
Truly they’re not scary in person. They’re very gentle when they crawl on you. They’re very good at camouflaging in bushes, so it’s a fun activity to look for them.
outside
Spoken like someone who’s never had the privilege of holding a pink-toed tarantula’s paw-pad.
Maybe outside are the ants, millipedes, and flies that skip lunch bcs they are too cool for school?
Team arachnids!
No way. What’s their name?
That’s a she.
Woooah where did you get your tarantula sexing powers? (Sexing them is a tad difficult) :P This one is indeed a female. Care to suggest a name for her?
Eloise sounds kinda charming.
She’s a bit bulkier than a male judging from the photo. Ofc it could also be true for some males but it was a solid guess ngl. She’s gorgeous tho.
Nice name suggestion!
As far as I’m aware, males get the lanky look after they reach maturity and molt for the last time, since feeding stops being a priority for them; pedipalps also change and thats an sure sign of a mature male T. I think they are indistinguishable before that?
This one was actually pretty skinny when that pic was taken since she had recently molted . So far all of my mature T’s have turned out to be females so… Maybe I don’t have keen eyes ti spot the males.
My other T. vagans’ ( same species) name is Garambullo, inspired by the very delicious fruit of this cactus. Kinda looks like the species signature red rump.
But this one doesn’t have a name… Any suggestions? It’s a female but I’m sure she’s fine with whatever XD.
I’ve never seen cactus fruit like that before, initially I thought it was a joke image and someone had taken a cactus and put a blueberry on each needle or something. Wild.
Oh it’s real, I promise. But it’s an endemic plant, not well known outside the region; that’s why I attached some pics ;). Not your typical catus fruit.

Keepin it botannical, good suggestion.
she’s got those frosted tips
My bad, that’s the flash reflecting on the urticating hairs. under mormal light conditions those leg segments look just the tiniest bit lighter that the upper leg.

Hell yeah!
On the floor
Moths every time. It’s not even close.
Bees because bees are usually pretty chill and I like chill. Especially the bumblebees.
Spider gang, no doubt

…Right next to the oil furnace in the basement, trying to figure out how to rig it to blow and burn the place down.
