Summary
We take another dip into our spider-verse with a discussion of spitting spiders and spider sociality. Tangents include parenting and homework advice, hamster cannibalism, Superman, Fionna and Cake. It takes a friendly neighborhood to raise a spider (aka a crawl space). Bug discussion begins around 7:10 Kevin's Spider Video: Spitting Spider (Scytodes longipes) exhibiting its "spitting" behavior.
