Plus, if you run into some baby spiders, there's bound to be a massive momma nearby. But if you blunder into a spider it'll pounce on you in a flash and kill you incredibly quickly. You might get some advance warning before a spider encounter: Some areas are covered with webs, and as a spider stalks through the yard you can see the blades of grass swaying in the distance. Bugs, love them or hate them, are very wonderfully done in Grounded, from the scurrying and squeaking little green aphids to shiny, lumbering ladybugs (I hope we'll be able to saddle and ride them) to the busy, mostly neutral soldier ants-they won't attack you unless provoked but they will absolutely steal stuff from your storage baskets, and I'm pretty sure I caught a few trying to eat some bug meat I was roasting on a spit over my campfire.
