I understand your concern.

But, I believe this scientist has a lot of experience dealing with spiders and seems to know that it is perfectly safe to touch the big no-no silk.

And, horror movies are meant to scare/entertain us. No spider film I know of is "based on a true story" 😅

Oh, I wouldn't dare! After all, they put the work into hunting their meal. 😄

Oh my, they're well hidden in that leaf litter. It's so cool to see them in their natural habitat!

Oh, so pretty! 😍

Oh my Gosh look at those eyes! 😍

Super cool that your pictures are going to be used for a paper!
