Flaming and sparkling spiders.

poor spider

if he bites the hand then he's sure to get crushed to death

if he doesnt bite the hand, he might get crushed anyways

he has no control over the situation and his actions are completely meaningless to whether he lives or dies

;-;

Tis the sad, sad, life of being a creepy crawly :(.

At deadly concentrations, this neurotoxin causes loss of muscle control and breathing problems, resulting in paralysis and eventual asphyxiation. In addition, the venom causes intense pain and inflammation following a bite due to an excitatory effect the venom has on the serotonin 5-HT4 receptors of sensory nerves. This sensory nerve stimulation causes a release of neuropeptides such as substance P which triggers inflammation and pain.[11]
Aside from causing intense pain, the venom of the spider can also cause priapism in humans. Erections resulting from the bite are uncomfortable, can last for many hours and can lead to impotence. A component of the venom (Tx2-6) is being studied for use in erectile dysfunction treatments.[12][13][14]

...well then
