I haven’t watched a log of “South Park” episodes, but the one about the Amazon rain forest was HYSTERICAL.

A very funny episode for conservatives.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=barking%20spider

barking spider

A highly elusive nocturnal specie of spider mainly from the Tennessee area (also known as the Tennessee barking Spider). While no live specimens have been caught in order to be studied, this is the only spider known to man with the capability to “bark”. These spiders are attracted by the scent of bratwurst and sourcrout and also been known to emerge on taco tuesdays. While you may not see them, you will hear them and at times feel them scurrying through the couch cusions. They do use a foul odor as a defensive mechanism. Beware the silent Tennessee barking spider, it is a deadly sub-specie and should be avoided at all costs.

Isn’t there a species called “Wolf Spider”? Interesting design. 2 false white spot “eyes” higher up. On his “snout”, what look like the dog’s nostrils are his real eyes. Our Creator has a sense of humor.

In Illinois we had stealth ducks that do the same thing at BBQs and pizza parties.

That’s no spider, that’s more like a weird kind of Daddy Longlegs... harvestman.

Daddy longlegs/Opiliones/harvestmen have an undivided thorax and abdomen... and are never venomous. They chew their food rather than inject it with a liquifying poison.

Spiders/Araneae have a separate thorax and abdomen, and have venom though not all have the ability to break human skin. Spiders drink their food after injecting it with liquifying poison.
