What makes me cringe more is the fact that it's on your leg while recording

*everybody gangsta until it starts moving*

Bru is on a speed run to become first infected lol.

If you listen carefully, you could hear it clicking.

"Imagine if it moved

Imagine how the SPIDER feels

"This is not your grave....but you are welcome in it"

Gravemind legit exists....get my flamethrower

[Sylvan]

Y'know, while it is terrifying to look at, I just... Man, I just feel horrible for the poor tarantula...

[vee]

Now I feel like spiders are crawling all over me

[HugoLuman]

What a way to go. Turned into a fungus statue. Fungus - so bad it makes you feel sorry for spiders.

Some species in the cordyceps family are actually medicinal and can boost immunity and endurance.

Terrifying fact : this is the cordyceps fungus that inspired the creation of the last of us and yes the real name of the fungus is also in the game
one very scary thing is that humanity is actually trying to get rid of this fungus as it is believed that if this virus finds out about humanity it could evolve and our world could become just like the last of us
what makes this even more worse is the fact that people in indonesia eat these

Just discovered that cordyceps can infect tarantulas. About 5 months ago, I had an OBT that died randomly. As it was being dried, some little "fingers" came out of one of the legs. Wife and I joked about it being cordyceps since we had recently played Last of Us. Apparently it was not a joke.

Eat the tarantula so the last of us starts in real life

[superfireglower]

How terrible it would be if we get affected

[HazelVsTheWrld]

All I can think about is The Last of Us

[AceofDlamonds]

The terrifying part is it's NOT a tarantula...not anymore. It's an empty husk in the shape of a tarantula completely filled and replaced with alien fungal tissue. The original host has ceased to exist.

[tracycrambry]

This man was the Patient one from last of us

[Thedarkone]

Probably the only time I've ever seen a bug get very close to the bloater stage

[Dg_Gaming_YT]

This looks like something you'd find in Resident Evil.
