It’s just a huntsman spider. Extremely common and totally harmless to humans. They can run really fast though, and the way they move can look a bit freaky.
Still. That is the largest huntsman I have ever seen. And I grew up with plenty spider bros in my house
I’m assuming the video just loops as the spider comes into view because it dispatched of the entire family seconds later
Fuck that…
I have a little jumping spider (about 1cm or so) in my house that I just leave around to do its thing, but that’s the limit of my spider tolerance. Anything more than that, and I wouldn’t be able to sleep anymore…
This is the strange thing about Australia. If I ever went there I wouldn’t be at all concerned about meeting a black widow or those ones with the red stripe on their backs. In fact, if be interested. Respectful and careful, but interested.
If I meet one of these, however, if run screaming. And if I encountered that nest is have to burn the house down!
And yet the black widow is pretty dangerous and this is harmless… I guess the size is enough, no need for any venom
Oh yeah - rationally I know I’ve got it backwards. It’s definitely the size.
This isn’t particularly unusual. Huntsmans are pretty friendly and quite a lot of people happily co-habit with them. I’ve known a couple of people who had friendly huntsmans in their cars for instance. I didn’t like the time one of them dropped in my lap while we were driving though.
Dude I would not be alive to make a Lemmy comment if one of those things dropped into my lap mid-drive…but that’s just me and my phobias lol.
No shit !
Fuck that shit
can you boil these and suck the meat out those crab legs?
Like fellating a kiwi
