This is a proposal made on 2010-08-10. Please leave comments and suggestions on Talk:Red spider achievement, indicating your thoughts on the proposal, including:
  • Support - you think this proposal should be added with zero or minor changes
  • Do not oppose - you think it's boring/meh/not for you, but it wouldn't harm to have it created
  • Oppose - you have a specific reason as to why this ribbon should not exist (state this reasoning in your comment)
  • Needs work - you think the achievement should be created after more significant changes have been made

See Proposed achievements for more information on this process.

Origin

On a hash to 2010-08-08 43 -78, I ran into a rather scary spider. I remembered a recurring theme in the XKCD comics relating to red spiders, namely, this [1], this [2], and this [3].

Proposal

I orginally thought about making this achievement about running into spiders exclusively, but perhaps it would be about running into any type of creature from the animal kingdom while in the pursuit of getting to a hash point, and taking a picture rather then running away.

Ribbon

Ought to look something like this:

This user earned the Red Spider Achievement
by finding and photographing a wild creature near the ({{{latitude}}}, {{{longitude}}}) geohash on [[{{{date}}} {{{latitude}}} {{{longitude}}}|{{{date}}}]].

Yes, the icon already existed. Thanks to Robyn.
