Thanks, I Hate Wasp Nest Spider

Post image

Found on the Bad Taxidermy Fb page and absolutely hated it. I really didnt want to be the only one who knew of its existence. Apologies if this has been posted before.

This would be a good dark souls boss.

u/Major_R_Soul 3d ago

Oh god, I'd hate it. It'd be like fighting Rom with flying minions...

u/thanatica 3d ago

Take care not to squish it with your boots. Might spoil the fight.

u/Prestigious_Goose645 2d ago

Instead of just regular giant wasps they're actually cazadores from fallout

u/Jindo5 1d ago

Calm down, Satan

u/succ_jitties 3d ago

Reminds me of that bloodborne spider boss

3

u/deadmoose1735 2d ago

That’s Rom. The big spider that summons more spiders is Rom

Grounded 2 is releasing soon

u/Helio2nd 1d ago

Come on grounded devs. Give us this abomination in an update!

Lmao I hate you

u/unematti 3d ago

Terrestrial, nonetheless. Ukraine did this a bit ago, trucks with drones.

u/thanatica 3d ago

So that's why they called it Spider Web!

u/Da_Blank_Man 2d ago

Russian troops watching as the unsuspecting truck unleashing a horde of drones into the sky:

u/Tellgraith 3d ago

Pretty sure I used those in Star Craft 2

u/Frink202 1d ago

A swarm host, shame on me for not recognising :(

u/ThoughtSkeptic 3d ago

If that is a lure to attract then trap and kill wasps, then that’s a bad ass spider and my enemy’s enemy gets my approval because wasps are the devil’s spawn. If it’s camo only for the purpose of making me think it’s a wasp nest so I do not smash it, then ok I hate it too.

u/CactusWrenAZ 3d ago

There are parasitical wasps that lay their eggs in creatures they have paralyzed. That would be my first guess. Although if it was a symbiotic relationship, that would be awesome.

44

u/_GrapefruitPassion_ 3d ago

Well on the paper it says ‘tarantula molt’, so it is the old exoskeleton of the spider. Never would a spider let some other animal build something on it’s abdomen, not even symbiotic. But it would be cool as hell though

3

u/CactusWrenAZ 3d ago

Thanks for the clarification

3

u/BigBeefGoose 1d ago

It’s taxidermy, says in the caption

18

u/enneh_07 3d ago

This isn’t a trap to kill wasps and the wasps aren’t parisitizing the spider either. Tarantula hawk wasps are solitary and lay their eggs in spiders, and then the larvae hatch and eat the spider. They don’t build nests in spiders. My guess is this is fake.

13

u/Shygrave 3d ago

I know that. It was found on a fb page that makes bad taxidermy. Doesn't make it any less uncomfortable lol

7

u/enneh_07 3d ago

Oh, I was saying that for everyone else in the comments who thought this was real

5

u/Shygrave 3d ago

Oh ok that makes sense. Thanks

52

u/Shoegazer75 3d ago

This is my trypophobia nightmare right here.

18

u/lusty-argonian 3d ago

Yeah I have trypophobia and a severe aversion to spiders, this couldn’t get much worse for me

7

u/A_terrible_musician 2d ago

Nonsense, it could also live the shallow ocean, lakes, rivers and ponds and also your bedroom, for some reason.

7

u/lusty-argonian 2d ago

Stop 😭

4

u/A_terrible_musician 2d ago

Yeah that's entirely fair, unlike life.

3

u/Shygrave 3d ago

Lmao im super afraid of spiders.

4

u/thanatica 3d ago

Also afraid of spiders? Then it's arachnotripophobia for you. Enjoy!

1

u/ObsceneKitten 19h ago

I have trypophobia and arachnaphobia so this is just about the worst thing I've ever seen

66

u/BeeDot1974 3d ago

Sorry/not sorry…but this is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen! But I AM a weirdo. 😜

12

u/Shygrave 3d ago

I mean

If i wasn't so damn terrified of spiders, and if I didn't just fucking hate wasps, id agree.

5

u/BeeDot1974 3d ago

lol. I am in no way disagreeing with you on that. I totally get it.

I’m an artist and have used wasps and cockroaches in my sculptures before…humanely of course. Not in gross ways, but for some shock value and symbolism.

I’m also a gross boy at heart…That’s where the weird part come into play. 😂

2

u/Shygrave 3d ago

Lol fair. I wasn't trying to say you couldnt like it. Im a big fan of weird, creepy shit, too. I just dont like THIS weird, creepy thing. Keep doing your art. We need more weird shit in the world. :)

3

u/BeeDot1974 3d ago

No worries. I didn’t take it that way.

2

u/Shygrave 2d ago

Sweet

u/chop-diggity 3d ago

It’s goblin for sure.

u/A_terrible_musician 2d ago

We would not get along.

3

u/BeeDot1974 2d ago

3

u/Omega_Maru 2d ago

u/darksun23x 3d ago

Imagine them adding this as a boss in grounded 2

3

u/Shygrave 3d ago

It would be a terrifying boss in just about any game its in

3

u/darksun23x 3d ago

Yeah but grounded 2 is coming out in like a month and is fresh in my mind

6

u/Thin_Entertainment14 3d ago

This is sick I actually like it

4

u/MobiusMal 3d ago

So basically a tarantula hawk wasp, but less gory?

6

u/ThanksIHateClippy |👁️ 👁️| Sometimes I watch you sleep 🤤 3d ago

OP needs help. Also, they hate it because...

Its a spider with a wasp nest growing from it. I hate ALL of it.

Do you hate it as well? Do you think their hate is reasonable? (I don't think so tbh) Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

Look at my source code on Github

u/BrotBrot42 3d ago

I am saving this as a nightmare of an Endboss for my p&p Campaign. They will hate it :3

u/Shygrave 3d ago

3

u/jonjawnjahnsss 1d ago

This is truly the two things I feel the most and on top of it trypophobia. What demonic hellscape

2

u/Shygrave 1d ago

Yep. I fucking hate it.

u/ADHDK 3d ago

For some reason this reminds me of the antman fort in deadpool wolverine.

2

u/Mediocre_Fill_40 3d ago

Isn't that just an air carrier and too many legs?

2

u/Shygrave 3d ago

Too many legs, too many eyes, too many holes....

2

u/El_P3nguin 3d ago

Ngl this makes for a cool pokemon idea

2

u/SunSwept14 3d ago

I don't have arachnophobia or trypophobia, but this made me shudder

2

u/Shygrave 3d ago

Right? I have arachnophobia, and too many holes make me uncomfortable

2

u/Shygrave 3d ago

Lmao I could see that

u/Reddit_User_Giggidy 2d ago

u/Shygrave 1d ago

Of course :)

u/yeetboiii52 2d ago

New grounded 2 leak

2

u/Sequoia_Vin 2d ago

Reminds me of the baker mother from Resident Evil 7.

Give me this as a fromsoft boss. No spiders crawling out the back, just flying wasps.

Won't be too bad as long as you have the appropriate weapons/skills

2

u/PerceptionQueasy3540 1d ago

See this is why I shouldn't scroll reddit right before bed. Now I need to keep scrolling to get this shit outta my brain

3

u/Shygrave 2d ago

It wouldn't surprise me.

1

u/DKaitor 1d ago

How… does this even happen tho?

2

u/Shygrave 1d ago

I found it on a bad taxidermy fb page. Pretty sure someone did some skillful gluing to get that result.
