"Is that a carrot in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
Feature, not a bug.
It appears to be bugging him.
Definitely not a heart.
Half a heart-on?
Brown recluse???!
Nope, it's a tarantula! Brachypelma smithi :)
Haha, just meming but it's really good!
Hehehe whoosh!
Immediately recognized the smithi, well done!
Beautiful job! My first thought was "is that a Brachypelma emilia?"
I don't think they have furry legs...
