I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. I don’t care how “necessary” they are for the “survival of our planet and ecosystem”, insects are fucked and can get fucked. Kill them all! I can’t think of one (1) insect I like, not even butterflies are good because they have those awful crawly legs and antennae. Anything with antennae is bad – fact. But spiders? They’re the absolute worst of the bunch.

Especially when they look like this:
This guy, this BEAST, was found by a guy called William Williamson, who a) has a fake name surely and b) has nerves of steel to even get this close to photograph the thing. He posted it on Facebook this week asking if anyone knew what kind of spider it was. I’ll tell you what kind it is, mate – the kind you set on fire, that’s the kind.
The Australian Museum eventually identified it as the Magnificent Spider (I mean it’s magnificent if you mean in a BAD WAY) and it’s commonly (!!!) found in NSW and QLD. Thankfully, the creature only averages 2.5cm in length. So it’s little. But still, it looks horrible so it’s still Very Bad.
Here’s a thing, don’t google “Magnificent Spider” because you will regret it. I really wish I didn’t google any of this or start this story, but now that I know these horrible facts you have to as well. It’s only right. Like this bit from the Australian Museum’s site about their egg sacs.
“She constructs a series of spindle-shaped egg sacs over several nights, and each one is filled with about 600 eggs. The egg sacs are attached to a branch, and may number up to seven.”
Look at their egg sacs. Just look at these things.
NO THANKS NOPE NO BYE.
