Fun fact: horseshoe crabs are not only not crabs (infraorder Brachyura), not only are they not decapods (order Decapoda), and not only are they not class Malacostraca, they’re not even crustaceans (subphylum Crustacea).
Instead, they’re in the subphylum Chelicerata, making them more closely related to a tarantula, a daddy longlegs, and a tick than they are to any crab.
They are part horse though, right?
Actually, part shoe.
And like many a shoe, has 10 eye-let
My favorite horseshoe fact is that they have nine eyes, of all different types. And that’s not even counting the tail which is itself covered with photoreceptive cells - so it’s essentially a tenth eye.
be not afraid
Well that checks out, considering they are more terrifyingly stranger then any other crab.
That would honestly make my fucking year!
That’s a two full size Snickers bars worthy costume.
Yep, reward the creativity!
This is why I love Halloween. Some kid wants to be an umbrella. Another wants to be a tornado. Then, Yoshi to shows up to get candy, but right behind him is his little brother dressed like the elderly ghost of Tupac. Bro wut.
I fucking love it.
One of my favorite Halloween costumes is still a college acquaintance who came to the party as a banana slug. It was so sincere and heartwarming!
If I saw her crawling after me, I might actually shit my pants. Seeing that thing crawling around a suburban street would be way scarier than some disheveled clown
I’d fucking love both the creativity as well as the effort involved getting the background knowledge. That’s why it’s two full size milky ways.
I’m just wanting somebody to post a link on how to make that costume. It’s awesome
Couple of Hula hoops maybe?
I am so impressed at the construction of the costume! Damn I wish there was a video of it being made.
Twist is she grows up, starts menstruating blue
Careful, people might try to steal her blood!
Fuck it, she wins Halloween. She gets the whole bowl. Turn off all the lights and lock the door.
First thing I thought about the skateboard is that he’ll not be watching where he’s rolling, and just gets driven over by a car
