Temperatures have been in the positive degrees centigrade for much of this week, and we’ve started seeing a few spiders outdoors. It’s time for them to start emerging and filling the world with their terrible beauty. Making me king is entirely optional.

What if there’s a sudden cold snap, will they just die off?
Becca Stareyes says
Look, I can’t say that Queen of the Spiders has ever been my personal ambition, and I’m not exactly in favor of monarchy, but I’m willing to serve as the democratically-elected President of Spiders if so asked. (The Presidential Bedroom may have to be off-limits, especially as First Feline Percy thinks spiders are prey, and you can’t reason with a cat.)

Luckily, I can say from personal experience this won’t happen! I guess members of the Arachnidae have more sense than to be monarchists?
