| Found a spider in one of my flowers, researched it and found out it was a flower spider, so cute with its pink markings on its thorax |

| Fish, We had a recluse for a while at the zoo and taught people VERY specifically about the violin on their back and their eyes. I got lots of people thanking me for helping to calm their fear of recluse, helping them realize they were in far less danger. Zoos DO help to make a difference! It just sucks that zookeepers like myself get bashed so frequently for things we don't actually do. |

| Yeah, and especially widows are very docile spiders, I've owned Latrodectus menavodi before and they're really not different in temperament to false widows. You'd have to squeeze them to get them to bite, so just watch where you're sitting if you have the more dangerous species in your area. Recluses get a really bad reputation for little reason too. And the thing with them is that people tend to misidentify every brownish spider as one, and it gets a lot of random spiders killed and obviously makes a lot of people scared :( There's a funny song on youtube "It's not Loxosceles" about this phenomenon |

| Fish, And yes, absolutely rabies had a huge contribution to it since there is basically no survival to it. Bats had to find a way around it since it spread SO fast through their colonies. And they did! But that also means that we, as humans, have to respect bat species and give them their space. They've got enough going on without us contributing to their decline. |
