Yet again, it’s that special time of year - tarantula mating season in California 🎉! Tarantulas are normally nocturnal, but in autumn, males emerge during the day to look for a mate. It’s not uncommon to see them crossing the trail while hiking.

Despite their large size and appearance, tarantulas are actually very docile and would rather flee than attack. They’re also fragile, so picking them up is not recommended (except that one time I rescued one from the road and then it climbed up my arm lol…). You sometimes can get them to walk across your hand, which is a much safer option for the tarantula.

Pro tip if you’re in the Bay Area: a recent rainstorm and cool weather seem to vastly increase the chance of finding one. Grassy foothills with sparse trees and not a lot of people are the best.

Every time Annabelle brushes her bristles against Nikola, there's an 8% chance that the coiled metal that holds their head will spring up, leaving it to bounce for minutes and producing the typical springy sound.

SPIDER HAS LOVER

The embarrassing thing of the springy-head Nikola post is that going through the notes has forced me to realise that i posted it unfinished. It was meant to finish with: So, if you hear that sound, don't worry. No one's having a funny erection anywhere near you.

devastated to inform you that the sephora spider serum doesn't actually contain any of the compounds that attract spiders and it was just a hoax
