#Goliath birdeater tarantula

[totally-not-an-awkward-okapi]

Not sure if I’m submitting them to @spidersociety-rejects too, but I felt bad not also doing a page for good ol’ Birdeater.

[roliorememberance]

Guys I need your opinions

My friend said my spiders name is bad

His name is Demitrius Demarcus Spartacus Bartholomew James the third king Smith the Second Sr.

I think it’s quite a good name what yall think

[ticktockmyclockworkhart]

my tarantula: is among the largest species of her family, has some of the most irritating urticating hairs of NW species, has fangs the size of a domestic cat’s claws, strong enough to drag around half the things in her enclosure with ease, has perfect camouflage on her cocofiber substrate, large enough to make audible intimidating hissing noises, very willing to give threat postures and lunge at anything that intrudes in her enclosure, engineered by mother nature to be an apex arachnid predator capable of taking down prey like lizards, mice, birds, frogs or even snakes

also my tarantula when a worm barely half the length of her shortest leg with a head that has been preemptively crushed wriggles slightly as it dies:

Happy veterans day.

Arachnophobia Warning

@truth-snake asked:

I found this in the garden. I’m naming him Gary and he’s living in the garden. He’s staying. Isn’t he cute? He’s half as big as Grim. @cherrypieola come to Ramshackle and meet ur godson.

[Picture of a large spider that I'll share under the cut - read more.]

Oh, also…

@disgruntled-prince I’d stop falling asleep in the botanical garden bc I’ll be taking Gary for walks there. Isn’t he cute?

~~~

"You found it in the botanical garden? I would suggest not taking it out of the garden, Prefect. Doing so may disturb our delicately crafted ecosystem! It's rather sweet that you get along even with spiders! Do be careful when handling Gary, goliath tarantulas do shoot off hairs when they feel threatened. If you get any of these bristling hairs on you, make sure to go to the infirmary." Crowley answers.

Some shitty tarantula sketches hhhh

I’m tryna get better at drawing insects and arachnids but I’m currently not that great- but here’s some sketches of some of my fave tarantulas species!

Tw arachnophobia

[limbowuzhere]

Have this drawing I did of my new oc, they are a Goliath Birdeater tarantula which is my favorite kind of tarantula! The coloring and eye color is not at all accurate, I just thought it would look cool. I don’t have a name for them yet so please leave suggestions! This took me 4 and a half hours lol. I’m posting this at midnight where I am so I’m gonna go to bed now lol. Good night everyone!

Theraphosa, the Goliath Bird-Eaters

[mothmvn]

it turns out there is a downside to knowing a lot about invertebrates: when you have quasi-nightmares about pest infestations, they're really, really accurate

[primdaisy]

these arent spider lashes theyre south american goliath birdeating tarantulas

[moromuru]

The Prototype is here :D It goes by The Doctor in Promise cuz he works in a hospital, whether he's forgotten his true name or just doesn't think it's important to say, who knows

I'm putting the design under because I based it on goliath birdeater tarantula so sorry to the arachnophobes but at least I can kind of put a spoiler on here :D

Giant huntsman spider: The world's largest spider by leg span

Giant huntsman spiders are the largest member of the huntsman spider family Sparassidae with a leg span stretching up to 12 inches across — roughly the size of a dinner plate. The giant huntsman spider (Heteropoda maxima) is the largest known huntsman spider in the world and the largest spider by diameter, according to a 2017 review article. Its body grows to 1.8 inches (4.6 centimeters) in size and it has a leg span of up to 11.8 inches (30 cm), dwarfing the average 1-inch (2.5 cm) body and 5-inch (12.7 cm) leg span of other huntsman spider species. While the giant huntsman spider steals the prize for the biggest leg span of any known spider, the goliath birdeater tarantula (Theraphosa blondi) is the heaviest on record, weighing up to six ounces (170 grams) — as much as a small puppy...

Alright actually I want to do this right now so

List of spiders that be cool to incorporate into Web!Martin designs based on the vibe ur going for:

Jumping Spider:

Perfect for "c'mon I'm just a little guy just a little birthday boy" but actually he's a bit fucked up Web Martin

Parnaneus jumping spider:

I think the false eyes AND the green color palette make this the mixed Eye/Web Martin that is still just a fucked up little guy

Gooty Sapphire Tarantula

A: the color palette works very well for mixed lonely/web Martin

B: this is a web Martin that wears jaw droppingly beautiful suits and dresses to formal events

C:above all else this web!Martin Serves Cunt

Goliath Birdeater Tarantula:

The color palette is more subdued, but this one is perfect for your "gentle" giant Martin who wears cozy clothes and is mostly chillin but can easily shift into looking incredibly intimidating and threatening

King Baboon Spider:

Similar to the Goliath Birdeater Tarantula, this Martin operates mainly based on size rather than flashiness. However this is a Web!Martin that doesn't get want he wants via occasional intimidation, but rather by being a Hot Bear

Golden Orb Weaver:

Tbh I think this is the perfect spider for a more classic villain type of Web!Martin. He would be dripping in black and gold and have a sharpness to him that very much says Do Not Fuck With Me

Pumpkin Orb Weaver

Classic villian look again, but this time it's like kids cartoon villain. Think less Moriarty and more Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Also who needs to be competent at manipulation when you've got a fat ass.

Spiny Orb Weaver

Honestly I think this one is just sick as fuck. Look at it!!! I think it would be particularly good for making a more punk leaning and/or masked design

Pink toed tarantula:

For some reason in my mind Ballet is a very Web! form of dance and as a kid I always saw these guys as little spider ballet dancers. This would probably be a two in one au of both ballet dancer and web Martin and I think that'd be very fun

Me: *sees AUs where if Transformers Animated Optimus and Black Arachnia switch places* Let me give you all something better.

First off Optimus' robot mode. His will be based on a drider, a mythological creature with a human top half and a spider lower body. Retains Autobot colors but with additional orange markings on the abdomen similar to a jumping spider in pattern.

Alt Mode? Goliath Birdeater aka the world's largest spider and a tarantula. These beauties right here! I like to mention Goliath Birdeaters are actually gentle giants who only bite when threatened and rarely eat birds.

Optimus is a BIG BOI particularly around 32 ft in size as he had some growing to do so his body could fully support this new frame. If you are wondering, yes he does molt like spiders. And Optimus also kept them as a morbid reminder that the bot is now a monster.

Yeah I forgot to mention the guy went into self exile. Instead of the behavior people usually portray Arachnus Prime, he's still a kind soul but now layered with self depreciation, loneliness and thinks 'monsters like him' don't deserve companionship. OP more likely to run away than chase someone off.

He ends up on Earth ten years before Megatron and made his own nest somewhere near Detroit. Optimus becomes a local cryptid akin to Big Foot on levels of popularity. The only proof people could gather is the tracks he leaves behind, empty punctured oil drums, or molt fragments.

Spider brain tends to go off where he tries to catch birds and other critters. Only casualties were a few deer alongside the realization Optimus can subsist on organics too. He shuts himself in whenever this new craving occurs as he rather not eat a human during a feral state.

The rapid rise in technological advances for Detroit later forces him to relocate within the sewer systems since his previous den faced absolute destruction. Feral episodes become more difficult to manage as Optimus resorted to fishing to satisfy himself. It takes awhile before things become normal for him.

Then a repair crew from Cybertron emerge lead by his dear friend, Elita-1. A blast from the past Optimus wished to never face again. Nor the Decepticon threat that will soon expose his existence.

Good luck Optimus as you'll need it.
