I desperately want one. I couldn't find one before Halloween and was wondering if anyone would sell now that it's over?

Okay, so I hate to be the cunt, BUT

spiders don't have endoskeletons
that has too few eyes

Post on your local fb groups asking if anyone bought one for Halloween that they now want to sell. You might end up with a whole army of them.

@RedDwarfGarbagePod I suspect you are quite enjoying it to be honest

Boooo! How do you know this isn't a newly discovered species? 😉

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 05/11/2022 19:49

No but I want one now !

I mean, I'm at peace with my overall cuntiness, but I don't want to be the shitty pedant

I now feel like all my previous spider knowledge is worth very little.

Do jumping spiders also have endoskeletons?

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 05/11/2022 20:16

I saw that and was sorely tempted for Gdcs, but resisted - dd has more than enough crap to find room for. Wish I’d bought it now, though!

No. The skeleton part was right.

RedDwarfGarbagePod · 05/11/2022 20:35

So, knowing what I now do thanks to @Soubriquet, I am wondering how many eyes your spider army has, on average? I think it's probably many.

Jumpers have 8 eyes. This had 4

Jesus, is nithing on here east anymore?!?!

@Spoodee I hope you get one somewhere. I suspect ebay will have a few in a couple of days or so, market place too.

you could contact ASDA directly & see if they have any, I wouldn't be surprised if they have a few lurking around in the offices!

They have 8 eyes.

I think @Soubriquet thought jumpers have 4 as you can only see the first 2 sets prominently. But they have another 2 sets on the side/back

Please share some photos of your 10 spiders!

@RedDwarfGarbagePod may I please join your club? I've been rewatching Lord of the rings, and Shelob's appearance pisses me off: a sting instead of a spinneret! Can't even bite!
