Just popping in to say spiders are nasty ass critters.

Scrolled down fast, so I successfully avoided the pic. I win!

Cool.

I bought a used couch once. About three days in, I was laying on said couch reading a book. I looked up from my book to find I was covered in baby spiders much like momma up there. Somewhere in the couch there twas a hatching.

Imagine that thing 372 feet tall. Spider young raining down. The feet of the adult punching 12 feet into the ground.

The materials that make up a spider's exoskeleton would not be able to hold the weight of the spider that big, even if the exoskeleton walls were proportionately thick, etc.

A 372 foot tall spider could not exist!

But what if its exoskeleton was made out of unobtanium?

What if was like a Lobster or some other deep-sea arachnid/insect, that have basically advanced armor as an exoskeleton.
If that was scaled to size, would it do the job?

Just wondering... one day we could tinker with genetics and make some batshit crazy creatures.

At first I thought, "Awww, fuzzy!" Then I realized that if one went to pet it their hand would dissolve as thousands of babies would begin to Feed!

Nuke it from Orbit.
