I don’t consider myself arachnophobic, I am generally quite well-disposed towards spiders. I like ‘em, I think they’re cool. But at the risk of laying myself open to accusations of irrational prejudice, I really would prefer not to find this NIGHTMARE HELLBEAST in my MOTHERFUCKING BEDROOM.
Aside from the fact that it is so huge I can hear it breathing and its legs extend mercilessly into the infinite like the arms of Death itself, its presence is upsetting because it prompts the question: what the fuck does it eat?
At this point I am actually hoping I find a gigantic cobweb dense as fog and littered with fox bones and osprey feathers, because otherwise that means this thing was just biding its time.

Ephemera.

2. Found packaging for pool toy; some rain damage.
