So my housemate had me come take of this spider on her wall. Since it was high up and I was in a good mood, I decided to capture it instead of kill it. I got it in one of those plastic cup things that fit over CD packs. Those are great for catching bugs.

It was tiny and sandy-yellow-green-brown-light-ish, with a body about the side of a lead pencil tip and legs that went out about as wide as my thumbnail. Small spider. Not worth freaking over.

Then I saw it's mandibles. THEY WERE FUCKING HUGE! Comparatively, I mean. They were two things that hung down from its head and were about a third as long as its legs. They almost touched the surface the spider was standing on. And at the end of each one was a dark bulbous thing, like bit of fuzz.

It looked like someone had stuck the thing with mandibles meant for a spider three times it's size.

It was kinda scary at this point.

I dumped it outside.

Hey, spiders are terrifying. If I was your housemate, I would have killed you for not killing the damn thing in the first place.

My family is horrible to me--they'll catch spiders (like, granddaddy longlegs, nothing too horrible) and then put them in my bed.

I probably would have cried if I saw that spider.

Maybe they were the gripping leg things that some insects use for mating?

Hey, you! *pokety* You mentioned maybe wanting to give the "Saiyuki" manga another try someday. Check this chapter out; it's a nice standalone story from later in the series when the art has gotten a lot more solid.
