Huntsman Spider | Molting

Показать описание

Here's a video of a Huntsman spider molting. I went to the bathroom to fill a bucket when I saw it dangling on a single strand of web. I've never seen them do this so I set my phone up on timelapse to check what it would be doing in this position. Turns out this is how they molt. Amazing!

Thank you for watching!

My brain is telling me spiders are harmless but instinct tells me to burn the house down when I see one

Had these in my house in Japan. Would startle the crap out of me because of how fast they are. There was an 80% chance they’d run away from you at lightning speed and a 20% chance they instead jump in your direction. And they can somehow manage to vertically climb walls, also at lightning speed.

I think finding the molt of such spider would be even more terrifying than finding the spider

So nobody's gonna talk about how huge that spuder is

everyone being so fascinated about the spider while my paranoid a*s is glancing around the room looking if there are huntsmen.

"How long do you want your legs to be?"

That spider: "Yes."

I hate having arachnophobia. They are such interesting creatures and I just have to be hardwired to panic in their presence.

This position makes a lot of sense, actually– gravity is on their side while they're pulling themself out of their molt. Never seen this kind of thing before, that's awesome!

Spiders are our friends, they are the reason the world is not completely over-run by mosquitos and other pests, and they don't want to hurt us. It's too bad they scare so many people.

Even though I have arachnophobia, I still appreciate the cool molting process

Edit: I said I appreciated it . I didn't say I enjoyed looking at that. I like nature, but I fucking hate spiders. They scare the fuck outta me
