But no, no, climate change isn’t real… humans totally aren’t the problem…
Assassin spiders have been here for 135 million years, and now they’re being annihilated in the only 3 places the entire planet they still cling to life.
I don’t even like most spiders, but I saw scientists risking their lives to try and save insects and arachnids that only existed in those parts of Australia, because no one would try to help them, like they would a cute Joey. No one cared. I knew I needed to spread the word, so every time posts like this come up, I mention the Pelican Spider. It’s absolutely HORRIFYING to look at, but it deserves to live and be safe
During the huge fires in Australia in 2019/2020, the Kangaroo Island “Pelican” Assassin Spider vanished because their entire habitat burned. Only 2 have been seen since the fire… but none in the last 4 years.
