Similar, but different genus. Correct. Black and yellow garden spider is the preferred nomenclature. There’s a new invasive, the Jorō spider that also looks similar and is spreading through Georgia.
I had an entomology class my junior year and we had to go out and do an inset collection and display. We had these canvas nets that we would use to hit bushes and stuff to collect insects. We took a class field trip south of campus to do a group collection thing. I was sitting next to this super cute girl on a park bench when one of these suckers came crawling out of my net. I managed to jump out from underneath the picnic in one fluid motion. My professor went and let it start crawling all over his hand. I wanted to act tough so I did the same. I remember it crawling all over my hands with silk being laid across my skin. Anxiety kicked in on 11. I asked the professor if it would bite, and he laughed, shrugged, then said, “Maybe?” I put that sucker down as fast as I could and had to step away. What an adrenaline rush.
Always called them the same. One made me swim a better part of the Ichitucknee after a young fusiontegra ran his tube into one's web.
i don’t feel sorry for selfish assholes. How many people did their selfishness put into danger? How many people did they get sick? How many did they kill? Who needed the hospital bed they took because they were stupid selfish assholes?
You're right man it's definitely not heartbreaking that kids get orphaned. You're a West Coast dbl some of the contrarian takes you have. People are getting what they deserve and at the same time it's incredibly sad thar kids are going to be affected by all this through no decision of their own.
I didn’t say shit about the kids. I don’t feel sorry for those two selfish assholes. Fuck them. It’s sad that the kids are orphans but if those parents cared about them they have gotten the vaccine, they have vaccinated them. I’d bet they’d be arguing against masks in schools if they could. I’m not a contrarian. Go into the Covid threads and I bet “fuck anti-vaxers and anti-maskers” is the dominant position. People are tired of selfish assholes putting others at risk.
If you would take one second to read what was posted instead of being a dbl, you would see that we're upset kids are losing their parents. That is it, it's not complicated, this isn't saying we're having sympathy for the parents you weirdo.
i didn’t say shit about the kids. If I wanted to be a contrarian I would have said “fuck them kids” . Saying it’s sad they became orphans is implying that it’s said their parents died and it fucking isn’t. You said it’s said it’s sad she regretted her decision and it fucking isn’t. Fuck her and her husband. Both were stupid selfish assholes. Hopefully now those kids have a shot at not growing up to be chuds assholes.
I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything. I’m not being a contrarian because that implies I am saying something to go against the crowd simply to go against the crowd. I am giving my opinion because I truly believe it.
they made their choice. I don’t know why that’s controversial. Kids losing their parents to tragedy is sad. These people could have easily prevented this they decided not to. That makes it difficult for me to have sympathy for them. I understand why some can separate the parents actions from the kids but it’s hard for me. I’ve said my peace so I’ll stop. But, maybe you’re a better person than me when it comes to this but I’m okay with feeling how I do about situations like this one.
