Also these dudes tastes great and when they move in your hand it is quite a fuzzy feeling. 10/10 animal.

that is adorable. wolf spiders have great eyesight so i wonder if that means they have better-than-average intelligence like jumping spiders, since both species seem to have a curiosity streak.

I think they do. Solitary spiders are pretty intelligent.

Probably humans are more intelligent than we should be, too. [REDACTED]

It is a decapod crustacean

Emerita (genus) - Wikipedia

They live on the ocean/beaches, but if your beach is polluted, they are probably not going to be there.

In some locations, such as on the Pacific coast of the United States, digging up Emerita is a recreational activity, like digging holes or surfing.

Strong Montgomery Burns aura sentence. "Enjoy your recreation! Surf a board! Dig a hole!"

Wasps are not the kind of fiends people usually describe them as. I've never been stung by a wasp, but bees stung me 4 times.

I've never been stung by a bee. Yellowjackets and hornets have stung me, although most of the time that happened was because I was destroying their nests when I was a kid because I hated them. Bumblebees are among the mellowest of insects.

I get stung by wasps regularly. Red ones. I haven't been stung by a bee since I was a tyke.

OTOH mud daubers are friends, not fiends.

Some are loveable bastards, but I really can't say they're good people.
 
I have zero sympathy for people who get attacked, injured or hurt in any way by provoking wild animals or being in their habitat.

It is perfectly okay to admire wild animals. It's encouraged. But actively disturbing dangerous creatures and then blaming them when they get mad? You're a dumbass bro.

Bears for example. Adorable things. Huggable beyond no end. Will definitely rip your face off and eat you though so be careful.

speds who get themselves hurt by agitating wildlife don't realize that in certain cases, the animal that attacked them also has to be tracked down and euthanized so there isn't an apex predator with the knowledge that humans are on the menu that's wandering around. i remember reading an article earlier this year about a dipshit from illinois who visited the smoky mountains, underestimated just how hazardous camping in the middle of the forest actually is, and was attacked and eaten by a black bear. then park services had to find that bear so they could put it down, because now it knows people are prey and that posed a huge potential risk to other campers.

eta: forgot to add my unpopular opinion. raccoons are way more dangerous than people realize and it annoys me when someone's all "uwu trash panda!!!", especially when the meek, smoothbrained virginia possum continues to get bad press for no reason. raccoons are smart, strong as hell, and frequent carriers of the rabies virus. overall, they're nasty little fuckers who can and will wreck your shit if you so much as look at them the wrong way.
