Another excellent thread. It just goes to show how we have to value and protect nature even when we are frightened and perceive a threat at times. Like with sharks, which we have been butchering without much thought or care because they are big scary predators. But aside from their value to the ecosystem, it turns out they hold many secrets that could help advance medicine.

Yup, yup... Why cant most just look around and say, "we need this entire planet and everything to stay intact for the system to still work." "even the smallest of pests can hold something big." duh...

Just look at the beauty all creatures hold in their structures... man !
Come on throw them a fricken bone

That's all well and good but i'd still like them to stay away from me. I don't mind them outside but if i see one inside or worse inside and right next to me... No.

Who would've thought though that they may actually have some use after all. It's amazing the things we can find. It's like all the cures for all these diseases are out there hiding in the most unexpected of places.

Heres my giant beauty, a goliath bird eater (theraphosa leblondi) 1 of 3 largest spiders in the world.
I was scared as fu** holding her but she was in premolt, very slugish.

Before molt:
