Whew. I was expecting a play through of that tedious game.

THE HORROR.
Actually, the slo-mo hideous moth thing was far more ghastly than the fat spider. Ugh, moth things.

I should start playing it. May never sleep again.
Can't sleep. Spider will eat me.

That was lovely. Don't know why people are so bothered by spiders. Don't particularly want them on me, per se, but watching them do what they do, especially in a lush artistic rendering, is more fascinating than horrifying.
Hell, humans watch Everybody Loves Raymond reruns, which is far more skin-crawlingly nightmarish to me, but it takes all kinds to make a world.

That was fantastic. The details are impressively accurate.

I'm not afraid of spiders, but I am a huge moth sympathizer.

That was really beautiful.
When I was 18, a moth flew into my ear and got stuck, and I spent 4 hours in a Kaiser emergency waiting room where the intake nurse did not believe my story. When I finally got in to see a doctor, they poured liquid into my ear and vacuumed the damned moth out. 12 years later I can still hear it's wings in my nightmares. I will confess to inappropriate levels of glee at watching the moth die.

Wow, that was amazing. Count me on the spider side. The details on that were just beautiful. It is amazing how almost tender a spider can look when its about to cocoon prey. And spider silk is just... an amazing thing.

Arachnophobes should definitely skip this one
I didn't have a problem with spider till the shrieky, stabby bit. Not I don't want to be left alone. But totally breathtaking.

Yeah, I always think it's best to put a warning up on posts with spider-related content. Especially after reading the comments the last time I posted anything spider-related.

Oh no, it's totally not your problem. I mean, you see the word spider, that's your cue right there to stay or go. Life can't all be puppies and bunnies. Sadly.

That was beautiful and awe-inspiring. But then, I can find something cool in just about every life-form (other than certain Bushes, but that's another thing entirely).
