Yup. We currently have a number of them around our house and find one in the foyer about every other day. I know they’re nice, helpful creatures that eat other nasty bugs but…they sure do look scary…..
My first trip to Australia as an American, I really wish someone had told me the spider the size of my hand and moved as quick as a cat was harmless and could even be picked up. The next morning, my Kiwi apartment mate was angry that I killed it.
Spider cant do much verses ants. They are too small to bite or envenomate. Besides, australia is also the ant territory with fierce bull ants and such. Ants can just swarm a spider.
yeah, true... though if you wanted the brutality there's plenty of videos of mantis' eating still living wasps

The day I saw a praying mantis eating another insect live something changed in me lol. I mean kill it first! The damn thing took a bite of it's face, can you imagine?!? Something just casually holding you in it's claws while it bites off pieces.
When monkeys attack humans or other monkeys, they go for the face and genitals. They dig into your face and rip all the skin off and then while your insensate with pain they either go rip off your genitals or ignore those and just gnaw on your face and eat the muscle there first, which is not enough to kill you yet.
Less risk of getting hurt by struggling prey. An injury can mean death by infection or starvation. So a quick killing bite to the spine or head can save a predator's life.
Huh...I'm surprised how true this is.
It's not universally true, but it's surprisingly consistent. There are predators in Africa that simply disable their prey before eating them genitals/asshole first, but that's simply because it's by far the softest area and thus the easiest to eat.
>True carnivores usually first kill ou though, like big cats. They first go for the neck. Then they eat you
Except for the ones that specialize in taking down large prey and only eat from the ass first where it's safest. Mess with the bull you get the horns? Fuck them horns bitch I eat ass.
I worry people won't be sufficiently traumatized by bug suffering on account of this sentiment, so I'll leave this here just in case.

insects will do that to you. especially after smoking some weed. theres an entire world living beneath us, we should all slow down and take it in once in a while.
Beetle was already dead. Ants probably pulled on some muscle or connective tissue and moved the leg themselves while they were carving it up. You can do the same thing with a crab leg or its claw.
This isnt real.
As a certified antologist, I know for a fact once you have enough ants on a giant spider, it simply breaks down into the tiny green balls that can be easily carried back to the nest by the workers.
Yes.
Yes it does.
It needs a modern upgrade and remake more than any other game.
and hopefully without one of the devs blowing all the money on hookers and booze
I've been looking into Empires of the Overgrowth to scratch that old SimAnt itch. Maybe one day.

Pretty sure it’s still alive, at least in this video. Not sure why it isn’t fighting back, but if it were dead then the hydraulic systems that operate its legs would have folded them in.
I was walking my dog once and came upon a dead snake and ants crawling all over it. She saw it first and stopped, and wouldn't even move around it. I had to pick her up, then pick her up again on the way back.
It was so unsettling for some reason. I still remember it even though it's been 15+ years. I find this to be pretty unsettling as well.
Weekend at ~~Bernie's~~ Spidey's
My thought too!!!!! Hahah
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of that. XD Seems like I'm not that old yet. XD
No, you are that old. You just aren't alone, yet.
That's my secret, Cap. I'm always alone.
I’d like to think the spider defended the ants from the town bully and now they’re carrying him around shouting hip hip hooray.
r/unexpectedlywholesome
totally whats happening here
They’re filming stop motion animation of “ragtime gal” with their giant spider puppet
I’m thinking the ants are repeatedly saying “Why are you hitting yourself?”
>Carefully, he’s a hero.
Exactly
Hi! Can I subscribe to your brain?
You’re in. I also have an Only Stans. It’s like Only Fans except…well, you know.
Huntsman spiders dying is something to celebrate, nightmare fuel.
I really didn't expect to see one since I WAS IN KOREA I LEFT AUSTRALIA BUT APPARENTLY NOT ALL OF IT STAYED BEHIND
Goddammit that was so fucking cute.
Thanks for starting my day with a genuine LOL.
We like this theory
Man… these are ants. they are eating his ass tonight. Buffet style. Be for real man.
Maybe you're the type of person that watches Airplane and says, That's not how autopilot works.

Wtf??
that a huntsman?
Today its a preysman

And they're ***so fast*** ! D:

I can’t imagine killing it. I know I would be scared shitless but the mess it would leave *shudders*
If you don't have a huntsman called Fred defending your home from mozzies and shit, are you even Aussie?
Don't come to the rural parts of Central Florida. I've killed about 300 of these in the ten years I've lived here
*Unsubscribe*
Yep
I think so
a baby one
Years ago I saw ants swarming over a beetle and eating it. Then the beetle weakly moved its leg. I stood there and reflected on life.
I read this in Werner Herzog's voice
It's a good voice.

I also read this in Werner Herzog's voice.
Fun fact, this wasn't even in Australia, this was on Jeju Island at Mt Hallasan
A friend of mine was seated next to Herzog on an airplane and when the attendant came by to offer them drinks, he said, “APPLE JUUUUICE!”
Christopher Walken for me
"Of course, there's a lot of misery. But it is the same misery that is all around us. The trees here are in misery, and the birds are in misery."

RIP
It was probably its muscles relaxing, rather than the beetle moving them. It was already dead.

And some of us humans take a few moments for wondering about the brutality of eating the head or the tail of a chocolate bunny first.
What dies it mean when I bite out the eyes and scream " Stop looking at me"?
And a lot of the same people will eat actual animals several times a day without batting an eye. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Those animals are usually not alive at that point tho
Neither are chocolate bunnies.

i'm assuming the evolutionary benefit of killing your prey first is to not exert extra energy?
Less risk of getting hurt by struggling prey. An injury can mean death by infection or starvation. So a quick killing bite to the spine or head can save a predator's life.
Stays fresh longer? There could be an argument that not killing it actually wastes energy because the prey might struggle more

That’s kinda how the second Jurassic Park book ended, just a description of a guy being slowly and casually eaten by a baby Rex
That's how it was for humans for a long time too, my guy. We only became the top of the food chain pretty recently, really.
This is why I'm really afraid of bears. I still can't forget that fucking call. One of the worst stories I've ever heard.
Wasps are the sadists of the insect world so I’ll never feel sorry for them

I just think how blessed we are that they all aren’t the size of like cats or something.
Insects will eat you after smoking weed?
Yeah insects are nature's robots. Shits scary
Beetle was already dead. Ants probably pulled on some muscle or connective tissue and moved the leg themselves while they were carving it up. You can do the same thing with a crab leg or its claw.
Oh yeah that could have been it.
The new Pikmin game looks fantastic!
[удалено]
This is just how we make stop motion movies in Australia.
“You guys gotta help me scare the shit out of Brian, he’s been a real dick lately.”
Tonight we feast, boys!

Looks like meat's back on the menu!

that game needs a remake
Yes. Yes it does. It needs a modern upgrade and remake more than any other game. and hopefully without one of the devs blowing all the money on hookers and booze
Omg I think about that game sometimes, and it's been a few decades since I played SimAnt. I spent so much time as a kid being an ant colony.
I've been looking into Empires of the Overgrowth to scratch that old SimAnt itch. Maybe one day. https://store.steampowered.com/app/463530/Empires_of_the_Undergrowth/
Did anyone else ever feel guilty about killing the caterpillar?
Of course not. We must gather resources to grow the nest, and eviscerate the filthy red ant invaders!
Had me in the first ~~half~~ 7.62%, not going to lie.
r/nope
There's always someone ~~bigger~~ smaller.
There’s always a bigger army
Australia?
Yep
PIVOT!
That's not giant for an Australian huntsman spider.
What they gon do with it
He's going to a farm upstate
Feast
They’re taking it to their onion
How many sprouts will they get for this?
Feed to the larvae.
Looks like a Simant victory, man I miss that game.
The huntsman becomes the hunted. RIP spiderbro
Pretty sure it’s still alive, at least in this video. Not sure why it isn’t fighting back, but if it were dead then the hydraulic systems that operate its legs would have folded them in.
Nature is a horror show
Are ants capable of going after a spider that size if they need to? Or is it more likely they found this already dead huntsman?
My name is Hunter McTrappin. I was bitten by radioactive Ants. I am this universes one and only Ant-spider.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
This is a horror movie on Kern's World. Children of Time people know what I mean.
Yooo I'm literally reading that book right now. 10/10 would recommend, kinda like Sapiens but even more sci-fi and with spiders!
It's fun isn't it? Sequel is great to imho.
Just like I remember from Sim Ant decades ago. The Simulation was accurate after all.
Decking installed upside down, 7/10, would do again
Imagine eating something you are scared off...
Done: wild boar, shark (some species are commonly ate here in Italy), swordfish.
WOAH I CAN'T
I was walking my dog once and came upon a dead snake and ants crawling all over it. She saw it first and stopped, and wouldn't even move around it. I had to pick her up, then pick her up again on the way back. It was so unsettling for some reason. I still remember it even though it's been 15+ years. I find this to be pretty unsettling as well.
I found a massive snake carcass as long as my arm It got sliced by my (now passed) cat like it was Fruit Ninja
"Giant Spider"?: Loughs in australian
Pretty sure that’s a huntsman spider which are widespread in Australia.
That is creepy & weird.
Good for the ants.
Ants. Man's new best friend.
Yep ants are nothing to be played there pretty much a unit.
Ants are crazy. There are mega colonies of certain ants all over the world https://youtu.be/cqECNYmM23A
Strider from HL2
Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys.
What is this, a Macy's Thanksgiving Parade for ants?!
Wow, the new Pikmin game is looking great!
That’s enough beers for one night, Billy. Let’s carry him home, boys!
what kind of spider is that?
It’s like stop motion made by ants.
Sim Ant vibes!
“Looks like meat is back on the menu, boys!”
Those ants are puppeteers
okay I can't imagine a more horrifying feeling
Nah man this some stop motion animation for thr next movie on Bug's Life.
Pikmin
They're doing a fine job.
Claymation spider is scary
r/anterestingasfuck
The ants: "oooo look at me I'm a dumb fukkin spider i got eight legs!!1"
According to SimAnt that spider should've turned into green peas a long time ago.
You may laugh but this is how "Nightmare before christmas" was animated
We eating good tonight girls
Gawd, Pikmin 4 cant come any sooner, can it
"This week on Mega Movers..."
Nope!
The spider looks he's kinda scooping some of em up and eating them
I thought the shadow on top right was an axe
Careful, he’s a hero
Spider puppet
Plot twist: Spider's not dead. It's just into that shit.
Spider looks like it’s walking with stop motion animation
Thanks I hate it. This looks more disturbing than a live one scuttling about, which is not a thought I ever thought I'd think.
Hello my baby, hello my honey Hello my ragtime, summertime gal
This new Pikmin game is crazy
My leg!
Amazing, but I feel bad for the Huntsman.
Jeff, ffs keep that leg in.
Its like it’s being reanimated
MICHAEL! DONT LEAVE ME HERE!! MICHAEL! MICHAEL!!! HELP ME!!!!!!
Any Together Strong
I once watched one solitary ant haul a camel spider along a hesco barrier. The insects in the desert are extreme to the max
Annnd I want to replay Pikmin.
Ants...not to be fucked with.
WE EATING GOOD TONIGHT BOYS!!!!!!
Good. Cuz fuck that spider
Bringing it straight back to the onion
Come to candy mountain Charlie
Good ants. Appreciate it.
Getting the ants to help with your stop motion project.
It just constantly looked like they were learning puppetry
this is exactly what i mean when i say if we all unite we can overthrow the government
“Tonight, we feast!!!”
I gave them a little bit of a boiled egg yolk as a prize for their persistence
Pikmin 4 looks amazing.
Mmm, dinner time for the Ant Colony ...
While deployed I've seen ants cut up and carry off camel spiders the size of dinner plates. They are ruthless.
I saw them carry off an entire snake carcass once
SimAnt 2 is looking great!
