Bees. So long as I stay on their good side they’re chill and they’ll protect me from the other options that want to eat me.
Moths. AKA goth butterflies.
Not only that, the only thing that makes them spooky and startling is that they randomly fly around like a dumbass towards anything light related.
When they’re just sitting still being chill they’re actually quite adorable.
You mean glam butterflies
I have a decent relationship with mantids already. I’d sit with them.
Outside, against the wall, alone. At least that’s where I sat in high school. So, maybe with the wasps?
I will sit under the lightbulb and wait for the moths to join me.
Everyone knows that anyone who knows anything about anything would go for the most evolutionary diverse group - spiders.
There is nothing these little guys can’t do. Fly over hundreds of kilometres? You got it. Extend their nervous systems several thousand times past their body area using web? Check. Biological hydraulic system? Yup. Jump 10 to 50 times their body lenght? No problem. Live underwater using silk made diving suit? You bet your sweet behind. Paralyze your body after one bite? Easy.
Moths every time. It’s not even close.
As far away from the moths as possible. Too chaotic and irrational for me.
I’d be at the oddball table with the roly poly, millipede & dragonfly…
Dragonflies are likely to be with the mantids at the “we will rip your head off if we like you, you don’t want to know what we do to our enemies” table.
I imagine dragonflies as the “enforcer nerd”; they hang with the weird kids as both companions and security.
Fair enough
Idk, I feel like the colourful ones would group a bit differently.
The popular high-fashion ones (orchid mantis, jumping spider, rosy maple moth) would be at one table, goths (bumblebee, tarantula) at the other, jocks are already together (beetles, tho ladybug prob carries a knife), goodly two-shoes nerds (bees) also, other spiders are obv commuter nerds, …
Anyway, I would skip lunch bcs this feels like a way too social situation.
Bees because bees are usually pretty chill and I like chill. Especially the bumblebees.

At one of those empty tables
Mantises
Team arachnids!
Hell yeah!
No way. What’s their name?
My other T. vagans’ ( same species) name is Garambullo, inspired by the very delicious fruit of this cactus. Kinda looks like the species signature red rump.
But this one doesn’t have a name… Any suggestions? It’s a female but I’m sure she’s fine with whatever XD.
Saguaro
Guy Fieri (she’s got those frosted tips)
Saguaro
Keepin it botannical, good suggestion.
she’s got those frosted tips
My bad, that’s the flash reflecting on the urticating hairs. under mormal light conditions those leg segments look just the tiniest bit lighter that the upper leg.

That’s a she.
Woooah where did you get your tarantula sexing powers? (Sexing them is a tad difficult) :P This one is indeed a female. Care to suggest a name for her?
Eloise sounds kinda charming.
She’s a bit bulkier than a male judging from the photo. Ofc it could also be true for some males but it was a solid guess ngl. She’s gorgeous tho.
Nice name suggestion!
As far as I’m aware, males get the lanky look after they reach maturity and molt for the last time, since feeding stops being a priority for them; pedipalps also change and thats an sure sign of a mature male T. I think they are indistinguishable before that?
This one was actually pretty skinny when that pic was taken since she had recently molted . So far all of my mature T’s have turned out to be females so… Maybe I don’t have keen eyes ti spot the males.
