Same reason that bees and wasps have distinctive markings: it advertises to potential predators that they have defense mechanisms at their disposal.

- deafpolygon 4y agoBecause having said defense mechanisms without waving your guns around like they do in the South is pretty useless.
- claytongulick 4y agoYou managed to bring politics into a conversation about ...spiders? Sigh. And by the way, I lived in Texas for 17 years and never once saw someone "wave a gun around", and only once saw someone carrying openly. I grew up in the north east though, and guns were everywhere, I remember going to a movie with my wife, standing in line for tickets and a gun fell out of the jacket of the man in front of me, who appeared to be a gang member. But please, let's just keep with the knee-jerk political comments. Maybe we can bring them into a discussion about daffodils or something next.
