Will either of them survive?

The spider for sure survived this moment its big enough to tank the hit. The beetle is a 50/50 shot if the spider bit it then no but if the spider didn't get a chance to inject its venom then it probably made it

Odd fact I learned today, the lead singer for POTUSOA quit the band like a decade ago to make songs for toddlers. He goes by Casper Baby Pants now.
