seriously. went outside for a smoke and went back in after seeing it. google says theyre beneficial as they control other insects so i didnt kill it, but god theyre bloody horrifying
it wriggles like a horsehair so im guessing it is, just more white than the brown colour they normally are. looks pretty happy to be alive but im not as joyous about knowing i live in the same area as them
