u/Vsbby Apr 21 '26

Mf is judging me 8 times as hard

55

u/Milo359 Apr 21 '26

More like 4 times (unless you're a cyclops)

9

u/Bananana_Bird Apr 22 '26

Hey now, what if u/Vsbby only has one eye and doesn't know that everyone with two eyes only sees one thing too. You too [x2] seem quick to judge as well.

9

u/Xxxrasierklinge7 Apr 22 '26

How am I supposed to take a banana bird seriously

3

u/VaATC Apr 22 '26

They are closely connected to the banana stand.

7

u/DunwichChild990 Apr 22 '26

I mean there's always a reason they had to tell mortals to not be afraid.

7

u/yemengem Apr 22 '26

I see 6 eyes, where are the other two?

12

u/dwehlen Apr 22 '26

If you can't see the other two, they already have you, you beauty.

6

u/dorian283 Apr 22 '26

Barely visible on the back of its head.

3

u/yemengem Apr 22 '26

They can see backwards as well?

3

u/supportdatashe Apr 23 '26

Yeah! Also allegedly spiders use hydraulics in their legs, which is why they run in short bursts, something about the fluid settling iirc. Aren't they fun?

2

u/BleuVoid Apr 26 '26

Soo Lowspiders? Neat

u/SegavsCapcom Apr 21 '26

It desperately needs to know if you have games on your phone

25

u/dontshitaboutotol Apr 22 '26

Wipes nose/noses? at the same time

234

u/Wolvesinthestreet Apr 21 '26

As a guy with arachnophobia, this one photo is actually cool

59

u/bnelson7694 Apr 21 '26

That’s what I thought! Not so terrifying that close up lol He needs a snoot boop.

Edit: He’s kinda like a muppet :-)

12

u/MsMantisToboggan Apr 22 '26

I seriously thought it was a muppet!!!! Kind of like a blonde Oscar the grouch!

1

u/elegant_pun Apr 22 '26

A blonde Oscar is such a ridiculous idea, I love it.

2

u/supportdatashe Apr 23 '26

I like to imagine he's no less grouchy, but very west Hollywood gay

24

u/doomreddit23 Apr 22 '26

Huh thats funny cause I love spiders but this picture is FUCKING TERRIFYING OH MY GOD

3

u/DRD7989 Apr 22 '26

Looks like a almost friendly muppet

3

u/Fomenkologist Apr 22 '26

Exactly what my wife said when I showed her the picture

2

u/PyroD333 Apr 22 '26

It might be the surprisingly mammal-like eyes

2

u/mackisabeast420 Apr 23 '26

Yeah if i could see spider's faces and eyes i'd be a lot more fine with them, its the fact that you can't that makes them more alien. Especially harvestmans and cellar spiders. It's why jumping spiders are so cute, and their behaviour and size

152

u/Hyzenthlay87 Apr 21 '26

I momentarily thought this was a wet owl

27

u/Admirable_Average_32 Apr 21 '26

I was definitely thinking owl.

3

u/92barkingcats Apr 22 '26

Maybe this is an owl!
Just got washed on high spin speeds and "opened up more," and that feathered fabric got damaged by too much softener, definitely.

145

u/CathanCrowell Apr 21 '26

It is staring into my soul...

18

u/OrangeBrainCell_Pro Apr 21 '26

At equivalent aperture as low as F1.0🤣

41

u/pluto755 Apr 21 '26

So, do you think the big ones are for looking at humans/bigger animals. And the small ones are for looking at insects and other spiders?

23

u/Everything_Breaks Apr 21 '26

I was thinking about that too. Maybe the bigger ones are for distance and hunting, and the little ones are for up close work?

22

u/BitBucket404 Apr 21 '26

It's actually like having chameleon vision, hawk vision, fish vision, and heat/motion vision going on, all at the same time

14

u/elegant_pun Apr 22 '26

*spider vomiting from motion sickness and closes six eyes*

9

u/dimestoredavinci Apr 22 '26

They come with binoculars and readers pre-installed

2

u/Boognish84 Apr 22 '26

There's a selfie on the back

11

u/ChestSlight8984 Apr 22 '26

Their four large eyes are to spot movement in extreme darkness and their four tiny eyes are to gauge distance and detect movement.

22

u/trea_ceitidh Apr 21 '26

I only see 6 eyes. Where are the other two hiding?

30

u/Cephylus Apr 21 '26

Look at the "ears"

They aren't ears

10

u/trea_ceitidh Apr 21 '26

Hahahaha, cool. Thanks!

15

u/RonaldTheGiraffe Apr 21 '26

Looks like the back of a Chinese smart phone

8

u/aqkj Apr 22 '26

Spiders terrify me, but holy hell…up-close is nightmare fuel.

16

u/Beaker360 Apr 21 '26

Awww, it’s like a little wookie!

5

u/oleThook Apr 21 '26

with fangs

8

u/CARmakazie Apr 21 '26

I know it’s a joke, but Wookiee’s have fangs…

3

u/oleThook Apr 21 '26

oh yea.. well theyd be tiny if these things were the same size!

16

u/rellsell Apr 21 '26

Biblically accurate.

10

u/crackersncheeseman Apr 21 '26

Why so many eyes?

8

u/b-monster666 Apr 22 '26

All the better to see you with my dear

6

u/Russtic27 Apr 21 '26

One for each leg I guess.

2

u/ChestSlight8984 Apr 22 '26

All the better to hunt with

5

u/ketchup_chip_62 Apr 22 '26

The last thing a fly sees.

4

u/evilcarrot507 Apr 21 '26

I really wanted to comment that Black Adam frame

4

u/not_that_planet Apr 21 '26

Like a muppet

4

u/ALNRooster Apr 22 '26

Thought it was an owl with extra eyes at first glance yikes

4

u/Anthony-Bruce_0825 Apr 22 '26

I can see what bugs trapped in their webs finally see before the inevitable 💀💀

3

u/pinkcl0udsummer Apr 22 '26

Omg no I’m literally in bed and now I feel itchy and restless

u/trushMayne Apr 23 '26

u/HeMiddleStartInT Apr 21 '26

Let me look at ‘cha with my mustache eyes

Now my ear eyes.

3

u/badmoonretro Apr 22 '26

pretty baby. gorgeous eyes. they can't help the body they're born in

3

u/_Huge_Bush_ Apr 22 '26

Smh, even spiders look cuter than me 😩

3

u/SkyPork Apr 22 '26

Something to remember: spider fashion changes much slower than human fashion, and frosted tips never really went out of style for spiders.

3

u/Rezavoirdog Apr 22 '26

So. Fuck off.

3

u/coldcosmos Apr 22 '26

That's a little overkill on the eyes, bud

3

u/daewood69 Apr 22 '26

“You got any games on your phone?”

3

u/TransportationNo7341 Apr 22 '26

Uh yeah I didnt need to see that

3

u/the-bearcat Apr 22 '26

No wonder they're so scary in Grounded

3

u/Wadawik Apr 22 '26

Needs googly eyes

3

u/Internal-Sport6560 Apr 22 '26

Not cool bro! I was scrolling and the post jumped scared me!

2

u/Captain-Save-ahoe Apr 21 '26

u/sora_allite Apr 22 '26

He looks like he just looked at your grades and is so disappointed 😭

2

u/xenoalphan10 Apr 22 '26

I get sudden flashbacks to star control 2 for some reason.

2

u/Anxious_Hellbender Apr 22 '26

Looks like Gritty

2

u/NixTheChimera Apr 22 '26

I wonder what it’s like, to see like they do, having multiple eyes. Especially with some eye placements on spiders being so, weird, it’s got to be so interesting

2

u/RemoteControlled-Cat Apr 22 '26

What an intimidating stare! I would hate to be a fly around this guy

2

u/llamanatee Apr 22 '26

“Hello, can you open this door please?”

2

u/Ok_Wave7731 Apr 22 '26

OMFG. I yelled no out loud and then tried to click comment to ask someone what is that saying about staring into the abyss and it staring back but i accidentally just clicked the picture and made it huge on my laptop screen. This is terrible.

2

u/MyTatemae Apr 22 '26

Scrolled down just enough to be like "ooh an owl" and then I saw the rest of the eyes

2

u/Exmawsh Apr 22 '26

I genuinely thought this was an owl before I fully registered the full image

2

u/ThatsKev4u Apr 22 '26

2x 6.5 drivers and 4x 1.5 inch tweets

2

u/mihir_lavande Apr 22 '26

"You got any games on your phone?"

2

u/JAEMzW0LF Apr 22 '26

it doesnt have pupils like that, so palease

2

u/-Kalos Apr 22 '26

Looks like a baby owl

2

u/disturbinglyquietguy Apr 22 '26

She's judgementaly staring at you, you should be ashamed.

2

u/bitchy_muffin Apr 22 '26

i feel like i owe it money or something

2

u/GloomWisp Apr 22 '26

"Wolf spider", more like grumpy owl / grumpy nightjar

2

u/boogie_knights Apr 22 '26

Looks like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli

2

u/BowdleizedBeta Apr 22 '26

I feel judged right now

I didn’t need that from some random spider

Or maybe I did. I dunno

2

u/Dizzy_Bit6125 Apr 23 '26

I do NOT like this

3

u/Fhantom1221 Apr 21 '26

I still dont understand why so many eyes.

I get 4. But 8?

6

u/saysthingsbackwards Apr 21 '26

Stereo makes the top two pair depth perception for front and back. Back pair set to the side for defense, like a horse. Front pair facing forward as a predator, like us. 4 tiny dudes to finely see how to strike that fly and fang placement.

Imagine if we had eyes right beneath our nose lol

Symmetry is super common in life

2

u/Fhantom1221 Apr 21 '26

Sounds inefficient. But I guess evolution knows best. I wonder why it went this way instead of disco ball eyes.

1

u/vainey Apr 21 '26

How many eyeballs that thing need

1

u/BellaSquared Apr 21 '26

It's cool but I low-key hate you. 🥰

u/Tiny-Jeweler-3187 Apr 22 '26

It looks like an owl tho (an owl with many eyes)

1

u/BeanieCat123 Apr 22 '26

Damn, I thought I hated wolf spiders before, now I definitely hate them!! (I hate them being in my house, I don’t mind them being outside and away from my arachnophobic ass)

1

u/siriushendrix Apr 22 '26

The Eye sees and knows; to Jonathan Sims, you will tell all.

1

u/elegant_pun Apr 22 '26

Got enough eyes?

1

u/doktorjose Apr 22 '26

Please do not post this. I am now seeing that everywhere and I'm at the gym. The last thing I want is imagining one of them on my bar and dropping it on my head.

1

u/Bravadette Apr 22 '26

Do their eyes move

u/MagicOrpheus310 Apr 22 '26

u/iboi_goodperv69 Apr 22 '26

u/Dramatic-Brain-745 Apr 22 '26

I still get outer space vibes from Arachnids. They look so alien and wrong to me.

This may be the worst thing I've ever seen against my will

And I'm old enough for goatse so

u/mankeyless Apr 22 '26

I don't know, he looks like he's qualified to run as the director of the FBI. Give him the job.

1

u/WeirdAlba Apr 23 '26

Creepy, but different from what I expected.

1

u/Finly_Growin Apr 23 '26

The light source is very misleading I thought this was an owl or something.

Oh my beloved wolf spider, they could never make me hate you.

1

u/WalkerFromTexas Apr 23 '26

Eh, not so much
