Smells Like Teen Spirit
Last night, I went on a mystery tour to create another DIY tarantula island. I packed a net, a spare vaulting pole and ladder, and a flimsy shovel.
What happened next COMPLETELY made up for what happened when I failed to catch two tarantulas at the same time.
I wasn’t even thinking about it.
How did this happen, when I spent over 50 nook miles tickets looking for scorpion island and not getting it?
I wasn’t even thinking about it, because I knew it was extremely unlikely I’d land on the actual thing.
I took a single nook miles ticket with me to the airport.
On the first try, I got THE ACTUAL TARANTULA ISLAND.
OMG. It was a 1% chance. How?
Even though I know how to catch these creeps, I still got bit over 25 times because they kept coming up to attack me whenever I caught one. My highest streak of getting them without getting attacked by another one was 3.
I got these photos with my camera. BTW, tarantulas and scorpions can’t make you faint while the camera app is open. So I was able to take these next few photos below.
Imagine if someone sent you this as a postcard.
Just chilling with my tarantula friend. Look, it wants to hug me! (JK. It wants to bite me and inject its venom into my bloodstream.)
JK. They hate my guts.
Hey tarantula! Say cheese!
I’m having such a great time! Yay…
Here’s a regular photo of me catching two tarantulas. This TOTALLY makes up for what happened in that boat tour.
Once my pockets were full and I dropped my extra tools on the beach, I left. I was sad to go, but I had nothing else to do on the island. I hope I encounter it again someday.
I was really proud of myself. I’m saving these tarantulas so I can sell them to Flick.
I also took a few videos. One of them was me playing chase with my tarantula ‘friend’. It accidentally fell into the water. Oops. The next one was of me catching a tarantula when it ran at me. That never happened before, so it felt good. I actually managed to grab a few more tarantulas this way. The last video was of me luring one to a trap I made and catching it. I caught about 3 tarantulas this way.
If you asked me back in February if I could handle going to tarantula island, I would’ve said no. I used to be absolutely terrified of tarantulas, as I’d freeze up and my heart would start beating really fast whenever I saw one. But now, because the scorpions trained me, I’m not scared of tarantulas anymore. Both of them still spook me if they happen to catch me off guard. I feel like I’ve grown in these past couple of months. Thank you, scorpions. (I really miss you BTW. I can’t wait until May when you return and people in the southern hemisphere have to deal with the tarantulas.)

And I'm happy to see you conquered your fear of those bugs. Your screenshots are hilarious BTW! XD
