Bro is a sis
Good for her

My bro is merely acquiring mass
Female velvet spiders exhibit a remarkable type of maternal care unique among arachnids. Upon the birth of her brood, the mother spider liquefies her internal organs and regurgitates this material as food. Once her capability to liquefy her insides is exhausted, the young sense this and consume the mother.

I'm not at all arachnophobic - I'll often pick spiders up with my hand to put them outside - but I don't think I could let this one crawl on me without crying.
They're like jumping spiders that cant jump... pretty chill ladies i believe.
I don't think that changes anything.
Nuke it from orbit
It's the only way to be sure.
For the curious, the original text says "cute" in Japanese (the infamous "kawaii")
こわい
What? No it doesn't. かわいい is usually written in Hiragana. I've never seen it written this way. 可愛い I've never seen it with these Kanji. I mean it kinda makes sense, with what 愛 means, but I've never seen this.
Did humans inadvertently body shame a spider?
No one's commented anything that indicates to me whether or not this is real. If so, what's the species?
It's called the velvet spider. :)

Eresidae; Gandanameno sp.

Oh dang, I thought the title was just a cute description.
Any idea what specific species? Looks like there's a lot of velvet spiders from that wiki.
I updated the comment. Eresidae; Gandanameno sp.
Thanks!
It’s like a fuchikoma/tachikoma from Ghost in the Shell.
