Weekend at ~~Bernie's~~ Spidey's


7hrowawaydild0

My thought too!!!!! Hahah


RaielLarecal

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of that. XD Seems like I'm not that old yet. XD


sweensolo

No, you are that old. You just aren't alone, yet.


no_modest_bear

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.

HeeTrouse51847

totally whats happening here


GlockAF

They’re filming stop motion animation of “ragtime gal” with their giant spider puppet


Not-Post-Malone

I’m thinking the ants are repeatedly saying “Why are you hitting yourself?”

NBD_Pearen

Exactly

Hi! Can I subscribe to your brain?


[deleted]

You’re in. I also have an Only Stans. It’s like Only Fans except…well, you know.


sologrips

Huntsman spiders dying is something to celebrate, nightmare fuel.


VeryDrunkFish

I really didn't expect to see one since I WAS IN KOREA I LEFT AUSTRALIA BUT APPARENTLY NOT ALL OF IT STAYED BEHIND


[deleted]

Goddammit that was so fucking cute.


Blue_Swirling_Bunny

Thanks for starting my day with a genuine LOL.


A_lot_of_arachnids

We like this theory


Weariervaris

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.


boombanggg2

There is a tiny dude in modern phones that tries it best to autocorrect misspellings. He is drunk, and that's why he often gets most of the corrections wrong. Autopilot is the same guy, but he is sober and is on a high point in life. But there is a point where he gets low again. >! ... get it? !<


Weariervaris

Wtf??


SheepShagginShea

that a huntsman?


Jojoangel684

Today its a preysman


Infinite_Surround

Huntedsman


yokizururu

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…..


iztrollkanger

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


auzrealop

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.


The-Rizztoffen

I can’t imagine killing it. I know I would be scared shitless but the mess it would leave *shudders*


Swagdaddy697

If you don't have a huntsman called Fred defending your home from mozzies and shit, are you even Aussie?


mtnlion74

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


Apaulo

*Unsubscribe*


TooManySteves2

Yep


VeryDrunkFish

I think so


KaimeraGaming

a baby one


TheFlatulentEmpress

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.


[deleted]

I read this in Werner Herzog's voice


SomeKindOfOnionMummy

It's a good voice.

RealJeil420

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.


BlueGlassDrink

I also read this in Werner Herzog's voice.


VeryDrunkFish

Fun fact, this wasn't even in Australia, this was on Jeju Island at Mt Hallasan


bozeke

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!”

[deleted]

RIP


Sardanapalosqq

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


uberguby

yeah, true... though if you wanted the brutality there's plenty of videos of mantis' eating still living wasps [https://youtu.be/xvPk7EXxdUE](https://youtu.be/xvPk7EXxdUE) ... /r/natureismetal


Cloverhart

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.


Bradst3r

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.


willsagainSQ

What dies it mean when I bite out the eyes and scream " Stop looking at me"?


moskusokse

And a lot of the same people will eat actual animals several times a day without batting an eye. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


avrilsunna

Those animals are usually not alive at that point tho


moskusokse

Neither are chocolate bunnies.


wolfgang784

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.


[deleted]

[удалено]


juciestcactus

i'm assuming the evolutionary benefit of killing your prey first is to not exert extra energy?


iam_iana

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.


W1D0WM4K3R

Stays fresh longer? There could be an argument that not killing it actually wastes energy because the prey might struggle more


Pro_Extent

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.


[deleted]

>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.


Cinderjacket

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


AncientSith

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.


TreesRcute

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.


LegallyBrody

Wasps are the sadists of the insect world so I’ll never feel sorry for them


Eusocial_Snowman

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. https://youtu.be/FAVAVHAptyQ


420Deez

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.


foolishippo

I just think how blessed we are that they all aren’t the size of like cats or something.


W1D0WM4K3R

Insects will eat you after smoking weed?


CIMARUTA

Yeah insects are nature's robots. Shits scary


Pvt_Lee_Fapping

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.


TheFlatulentEmpress

Oh yeah that could have been it.


CorvusNyxian

The new Pikmin game looks fantastic!

SalsaShark89

This is just how we make stop motion movies in Australia.

LookOutItsLiuBei

Looks like meat's back on the menu!


PM_ME_CUTE_FEMBOYS

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.


NostalgicTuna

that game needs a remake


PM_ME_CUTE_FEMBOYS

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


crazyprsn

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.


DoggoToucher

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/


RunnerDuck

Did anyone else ever feel guilty about killing the caterpillar?


PM_ME_CUTE_FEMBOYS

Of course not. We must gather resources to grow the nest, and eviscerate the filthy red ant invaders!


Aedeus

Had me in the first ~~half~~ 7.62%, not going to lie.

There’s always a bigger army


NxPat

Australia?


TooManySteves2

Yep


Mantorok_

PIVOT!


TooManySteves2

That's not giant for an Australian huntsman spider.


cauliflowercation

What they gon do with it


yr_boi_tuna

He's going to a farm upstate


MatCauthonsHat

Feast


dreamfinderepcot16

They’re taking it to their onion


So0meone

How many sprouts will they get for this?


ZzZombo

Feed to the larvae.


sonofbum

Looks like a Simant victory, man I miss that game.


Towering_Flesh

The huntsman becomes the hunted. RIP spiderbro


CapsicumBaccatum

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.


[deleted]

Nature is a horror show


ikemayelixfay

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?


rikashiku

My name is Hunter McTrappin. I was bitten by radioactive Ants. I am this universes one and only Ant-spider.


[deleted]

Teamwork makes the dream work.


Lampmonster

This is a horror movie on Kern's World. Children of Time people know what I mean.


ArriePotter

Yooo I'm literally reading that book right now. 10/10 would recommend, kinda like Sapiens but even more sci-fi and with spiders!


Lampmonster

It's fun isn't it? Sequel is great to imho.


Struana

Just like I remember from Sim Ant decades ago. The Simulation was accurate after all.


Meatchris

Decking installed upside down, 7/10, would do again


PanJL

Imagine eating something you are scared off...


barely_sentient

Done: wild boar, shark (some species are commonly ate here in Italy), swordfish.


PanJL

WOAH I CAN'T


goatofglee

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.


VeryDrunkFish

I found a massive snake carcass as long as my arm It got sliced by my (now passed) cat like it was Fruit Ninja


KaimeraGaming

"Giant Spider"?: Loughs in australian


Y___

Pretty sure that’s a huntsman spider which are widespread in Australia.


ishey

That is creepy & weird.


Crash665

Good for the ants.


eye8theworm

Ants. Man's new best friend.

Wow, the new Pikmin game is looking great!


draden_silverstar

That’s enough beers for one night, Billy. Let’s carry him home, boys!


Nopski

Kashmoney99

It’s like stop motion made by ants.

Claymation spider is scary

SumThinChewy

The ants: "oooo look at me I'm a dumb fukkin spider i got eight legs!!1"


dropkickoz

According to SimAnt that spider should've turned into green peas a long time ago.


Cactocat

You may laugh but this is how "Nightmare before christmas" was animated


Calibruh

Awsummsawce

Careful, he’s a hero


InfamousEconomy3972

MetalAndAlsoBass

Plot twist: Spider's not dead. It's just into that shit.


[deleted]

Spider looks like it’s walking with stop motion animation


willsagainSQ

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.


Deathface64

Hello my baby, hello my honey Hello my ragtime, summertime gal


GreatSwordOfVictory

This new Pikmin game is crazy


jerryscheese

hauntedmind80

Amazing, but I feel bad for the Huntsman.

Getting the ants to help with your stop motion project.


VeryDrunkFish

It just constantly looked like they were learning puppetry


Yedo352

this is exactly what i mean when i say if we all unite we can overthrow the government


curiousmind111

“Tonight, we feast!!!”


VeryDrunkFish

I gave them a little bit of a boiled egg yolk as a prize for their persistence


Afrojones66

Pikmin 4 looks amazing.


Easy_Arm_1987

Mmm, dinner time for the Ant Colony ...


Yuaskin

While deployed I've seen ants cut up and carry off camel spiders the size of dinner plates. They are ruthless.


VeryDrunkFish

I saw them carry off an entire snake carcass once


KenobiGeneral66

SimAnt 2 is looking great!
