Looks like an AI created a Studio Ghibli spider.

Mfs have no respect for the work daddy long legs do to keep bugs away from us.
Can we standardize including info and/or better quality images when posting images with unusual/interesting animals, since this is the science based community?
All spiders are little mechs to me! Their legs are powered by hydraulics!
Which is honestly kind of freaky.
This is why Peni Parker is actually the most accurate spider-man
Yes, but do they have little bunnies piloting them?
It’s just mimicking the easter bunny, so it came lay eggs all over your house.
So that’s where I left that spidertron…
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter!
That’s so cute. Can we step on it now?
……….so it fucking does
The bunny is on its way to grow the factory 😏
Kind of looks like a crazy peep too. Want to pop it into my mouth.

I believe that that’s a harvestman actually. It is an arachnid but not a spider. They are suuuper ancient. The giveaway is that there isnt a visually distinguishable division between the prosoma (head region) and opisthosoma (back region) as there is in the spiders and other arachnids like the solifuges.
I came here to say exactly this. Like, I wasn’t perfectly sure, but I was pretty sure this was a harvestment not a spider.
Same family as ‘Daddy Long Legs’? From my colloquial knowledge they eat mosquitos, so pay them no mind if your tent is crawling with them.
Yep! “Daddy long legs” is a widely applied colloquial term for harvestman, or opiliones. Though I’m sure some spider species are also called that by some people.
Given the colloquial meaning of daddy nowadays, that name tickles me greatly.

But… it’s head looks like a black bunny and it’s back looks like a greenish-yellow spider. Is that not a distinguishable division? 🤔 /s
- its* head looks like
- its* back looks like
This is why I have to turn autocorrect off every time it turns back on. Damn thing always turns its to it’s and it’s to its 😬

You can add two spaces at the end of each line to achieve line breaks
Oh damn, I didnt know that. Thanks!
I think arachnids that aren’t spiders scare me even more.

There’s no reason to be afraid of Opiliones. Their mouthparts are the wrong shape and too small to do harm to a human. Also, unlike spiders, there are no known Opiliones with venom. Their chelicerae are for grasping only.
This person opilionates 👌

Is there a word for when something is both cute and terrifying?
