-After being bit by the spider and discovering he had powers, he devoted hours of time to researching spiders online. Mostly trying to find out what species it was, if he suddenly would end up being allergic to vinegar, etc. (Fun fact: Vinegar is actually harmful to spiders.) This ended up in him being dragged into the spider side of youtube (Tarantula care videos for example.), leading to him slowly but surely becoming a spider fanatic.
Ask him to list a random fun fact about any spider species and he’ll name five off the top of his head. Show him a picture of a random spider and there’s a good chance he’ll be able to identify it. Ask him how to care for a very specific type of tarantula and he’ll be able to tell you everything, from the best insects to feed it, to how often you should clean its enclosure.
-Peter once bought chocolate covered crickets online. He figured it’d be neat just to see. He ate the first cricket, expecting it to be disgusting. ...Immediately he was hooked. The only person who knows about his new-found love for bug candy is Mr Stark.
