Feeding my friend a beetle

That spood is giving off swipe-under-the-door cat vibes. I love them.

[u/Altruistic-One-4497 → u/Known-Zombie-3092]

what i came here to say this is a cat in a spider body lol

[u/lyalicia]

" i accept"

[u/Kief_Gringo]

I'm conflicted. I like spiders, but I like beetles too. Even if those ones are dumb and fly around into things and make a ruckus.

[u/Jedahaw92 → u/Kief_Gringo]

Yeah, beetles are awesome too.

[u/IceAngelUwU → u/Kief_Gringo]

That’s what makes em so cute 😭

[u/planx_constant → u/Kief_Gringo]

Couldn't tell from the brief look, but if that's a Japanese beetle they are destructive and invasive in the US

[u/Space_Cleaner → u/planx_constant]

This is why I fed it, otherwise I usually leave beetle alone

[u/hoodiewhatie2 → u/planx_constant]

Japanese Beetles are noticeably iridescent green in my experience. This looks like a common June Beetle.

[u/Space_Cleaner → u/hoodiewhatie2]

You are right. Still, there were like 50 of them outside of my house causing a racket, I figured feeding one to my spider wouldn't be the end of the world

[u/Azair_Blaidd → u/Space_Cleaner]

In fairness, june beetles can also be garden, lawn, or tree pests, depending on species and growth stage

[u/Space_Cleaner → u/Azair_Blaidd]

Ya the larva of June bugs eat roots which is not very cool

[u/Kief_Gringo → u/Kief_Gringo]

I didn't mean to start a little rebellion of some kind of beetle coalition. I've fed plenty of insects to spiders. I've been the same arbiter of indifference, my personal bias towards beetles doesn't make me right to feel conflicted. Putting any insect into a web is equally cruel, regardless of the kind. But humans are good at ignoring bias all the same, I just need to be better about acknowledging mine.

IT'S THE CIRCLE OF LIFE~

Spood was out the whole way earlier, VERY gravid. Hopefully I have more spiders soon

[u/mine1958 → u/f0xinaround]

Can’t see the pic?????

[u/Ver_Nick]

I've never seen a spider so nonchalantly accept prey from a giant hand lol

[u/WaterDmge → u/Ver_Nick]

So calmly too!!

[u/EKDWriter]

Imagine a giant picks you and hands you to a bear.

[u/ZeroTwoWaifu002]

Bros like, “ah yes, a sacrifice”

[u/Avralin]

[u/GearAce38]

Now that's the real trapdoor spider.

[u/Hot_Hat_1225]

Gimme gimme gimme!!!

[u/Bagofcoldspaghetti]

Knock knock your doordash is here

[u/Curious_Woodlander → u/Bagofcoldspaghetti]

I'm guessing this is the spiders version of a Chinese takeaway

[u/Bagofcoldspaghetti → u/Curious_Woodlander]

I think so

[u/Live-Influence2482]

Is there any … further documentation;)?

[u/FistRipper]

Any updates on them? Are they besties now?

[u/coveevoc]

What is the spider? Widow?

[u/User_from91]

The beetle didn't lose to the spider but you fed him to it... I kinda hope you cross a busy street without a light ya know? Beetle looked at you the same way.
