A spider that's terrible at hiding

Thanks for sharing this! I quite enjoyed it.

The choice to

muffle the microphone when the spider covered its head with sand

was a brilliant touch.

P.S. I wish Lemmy supported >!inline spoilers!<. The current spoiler markdown is pretty clunky.

Ha! I thought it was on a paper towel or something until it actually moved the sand at the end.
