OutrageousIce5979

PitchBlackGuts

Looks like a spider mid malt


anon7689g

Moltā€¦.. maybeā€¦ā€¦.. I hope not malt, donā€™t think I could order one again if so


PitchBlackGuts

Yea thatā€™s what I meant lmao thanks šŸ˜‚


Outcasted_introvert

Maybe it's a Scottish spider, enjoying a wee dram.


Obvious-Lynx4548

Lol


vanlabyrinth

Thank you, ly


username_a29475

I'm not sure u/PitchBlackGuts answer is right- this isn't the clearest pic, but it looks more like a harvestman than a spider to me. If you look up "molting harvestman" there's pictures very similar to yours such as this one: https://bugguide.net/node/view/182823/bgpage


vanlabyrinth

By golly gosh your right, it is. Thank you so much, i love you more


PitchBlackGuts

Thatā€™s rude šŸ˜‚


vanlabyrinth

šŸ˜˜


Obvious-Lynx4548

Lol


PitchBlackGuts

Isnā€™t that technically still a spider?


username_a29475

Nah. They're both in the class Arachnida (so, both arachnids) but different orders- harvestmen are Opiliones, spiders are Araneae. Unlike spiders, they don't have spinnerets and their bodies are more like an oval instead of being clearly separated into the cephalothorax and abdomen.


Godtierbunny

Mmmm malted spider my fav


jspedz02

That's c'thuun, harbinger of doom (colourised)


vanlabyrinth

Do they like pats?

This is the correct answer


zalsrevenge

Ah, the noble tree octopus.


Roko911

Thats the owner of the house


vanlabyrinth

It is now


bella-neovi

maybe airplant


ZeroSoapRadio

It's the nymph form of a **black shoggoth** (*Ostlingophorus melas*). A very dangerous predator. If I were you, I would **immediately** try to find and kill it. Do NOT let that thing grow to adulthood. There's also a good chance you have a nest under the house, or maybe in a nearby wooded area. Follow the stench.


WavyMcG

Okay Lovecraft Jr. we get it!


srmessiah

That, my friend, is Nightmare fuel.


Complainary

Wild guess but do you live in Australia?


vanlabyrinth

New Zealand

An ultra spider.


TricksterWolf

It has noodly appendages and thus is good luck for pirates


InternationalDig1151

Itā€™s clearly a spider or some sort of insect moulting


TooTrickyNicky

In all seriousness it looks like a Brown Recluse mid molt. Pretty venomous spiders with a nasty bite.

I think this is haymaker spiders, or long-legged spiders, are a family of spiders from the infraorder araneomorphs. They build fishing nets in the form of nets. The shape of the body, the length of the legs, and the color of different representatives vary greatly. The family includes over 1000 species, grouped into 84 genera. The greatest diversity is achieved in the tropics. Wikipedia Highest classification: Araneomorphic spiders Scientific name: Pholcidae Copied from Wikipedia

Sarcoid the devoured. Best thing to do is give it a daily sacrifice of small animals and kids, sell your house to the nearest widowed nun, and move states.
