We're no strangers to the fact that ants are quite the fascinating bunch of mini beings to exist on this planet. They tirelessly work their asses off to get that bread, day in and day out. And they persist while clumsy gigantor human beings amble around, knocking their belongings all over the place, and carelessly stepping on their brethren. It can't be an easy life. In this Tumblr thread we get to learn a little bit more about the intriguing funeral process that ants enact.

The idea of having 25 tarantulas as pets in your home might send a pure and icy shot of chills down your spine, but for some folks, tarantulas are nothing short of adorable. On top of that, this particular pet owner also had a pet scorpion. As it turns out, that pet scorpion had a bit of a moment where it was able to break free from its living quarters, and apparently had ended up posting up right where its owner was going to lay her head for sleep. Just imagining a scorpion running across your face is enough to make the idea of sleep seem like a wildly unrealistic pursuit. Like, no thank you. 

This is one of those wild Tumblr interactions that we sorely hope is nothing more than a devilish troll on the part of the one profoundly clueless Tumblr user. The dude suggests that honey comes from bees that have been squashed up in some kind of grinder device. Seriously, where do people read some of this stuff?

If you're like most of the humans out there the thought of a swarm of spiders popping up out of nowhere likely sends some chills down your spine. We can only imagine what kind of panic-induced adrenaline was coursing through this poor girl when she realized she'd accidentally transported a load of spiders to her friend's place!

This is one of those stories that just makes your skin crawl. This poor dude was being proactive and doing a little housecleaning, when he encountered a horrifying, behemoth of a centipede. To make matters worse, the centipede proceeded to crawl up his arm with lightning level speed. Chills. 

This woman was just trying to enjoy the results of her hard earned efforts with growing some tomatoes. You'll see at the end that those tomatoes are a thing of beauty. That being said, she ends up in a tense, adrenaline-charged duel with a persistent monster wasp. Things could've gone very differently. 

Sam Darlaston was going to prepare some of his favorite veggies, broccoli, when he discovered some little caterpillar homies in the broccoli. Apparently, this isn't too rare of an occurrence, and it's totally fine if you accidentally end up eating them. With that being said, Sam approached the situation a totally different way. He nurtured those bad boys to their final form. Sit back and enjoy the ride. 

Man, nothing worse than a good deed being met with a seriously gnarly batch of bad luck. Yes, we're talking tons of caterpillars that managed to leave their poor victim with countless itchy marks. We'd guess that next time they go to move a couch they'll be double checking that situation. 

Wow, this Tumblr thread is quick and particularly absurd. We've got a true case of a mad lad who apparently conquered their spider infestation problem, by, well, eating them. Yeah, that's a curveball you don't see everyday. Real or not, just imagining some dude doing this is equal parts mind blowing strange and hilarious. 

This is a work of art. If life ever gets under your skin, and you forget that there are absolutely absurd creations like this Facebook group that is dedicated to pretending to be ants...well, you're welcome. 

Well, that's one way to get your protein with your water. Just imagine waking up, potentially disoriented as many humans are at that moment, and then realizing that you've accidentally ingested a spider. Panic might ensue, but long as you didn't eat something poisonous (even then, how does that shake out?), you might just find yourself having to accept what is. A spider is dissolving in your body, and that's that. 

Not all days are created equal; some possess much more nightmarish moments than others. For instance, this particular predicament involving a mortified concierge at the Chateau Marmonte having to deal with a Huntsman spider. 

Honestly this wasn't something we'd ever think about, but the fact that someone is this passionate about ant emojis makes you think "of course someone would notice this and have an incredibly precise opinion on it." Here are some really funny reviews of various animals themselves.
