Deadly Spider in My Bedroom! Amazon Rainforest in Peru.

[danielpach4]

Sucks to live there

[menace2683]

Very poison. According to the guinness book of world records, the most poisonous spider in the world to be exact!!

[HatesStupidPeople194]

missing a leg too i c

[WeeklyIntrospection]

I was waiting for the Smack/Squashed sound at the end of this video...

[mexico8011]

good thing i live in america for the moment

[mexico8011]

im glad i live in america

[mewcorina23]

I would have screamed and ran like hell... That thing is creeeeeepy.

[lipcic]

Similar thing happened to me when I stayed at the Tambopata Research Center in the Peruvian Amazon. Found that wandering spider along the wall next to my bed, so I called my guide. He tried killing it with his machete but only took off one of its legs!

[lonelycubicle]

@lipcic Too funny, I was just down (up?) the river at Refugio Amazonas (one stop away). You may have noticed my spider only has 6 legs, maybe the same spider!

[Dosalt]

Number 1 horror movie

[lonelycubicle]

@Dosalt It bothers me now seeing how close I let myself get to it (did not know was poisonous until next day).

[KnoxBlondie]

DANG! IT!  GET AWAY FROM IT!

[lonelycubicle]

@KnoxBlondie Notice my foot is actually in the frame with the spider for a little bit? (didn't know it was poisonous).

[XxXLordPainXxX666]

This spider not only paralizes your entire body, but it also causes severe erections (ITS A FACT PEOPLE!) that could basically ruin your sex life. Fuck the Black Widow, these suckers are mean!

[forumboarder24]

i cant really tell from the quality but that looks like a huntsmen spider... harmless. they generally avoid humans and hunt food instead of waiting for the food to come to them like most other spiders. nifty little critters.

[lonelycubicle]

@forumboarder24 Wish it didn't hunt right next to my head board!

[wwejheaton]

@forumboarder24 thats not a huntsman it's looks like a brazilian wandering spider

[forumboarder24]

@wwejheaton no brazilian wandering spiders are tan in color and dont have the black legs. they also have forward facing eyes much like jumping spiders.

[Nigelxman]

@forumboarder24 Nope, that is a Wandering Spider.

[Rsz30]

You was sure that was a brazilian wandering spider becasue it looks like the spider have black legs

[lonelycubicle]

@Rsz30 Pretty sure. The guide seemed certain.

[NintendoFan41]

kill it!

[lonelycubicle]

@NintendoFan41 Nah, not sporting enough! Really, after I found out what it was, I don't know what I would have done if saw the next day. Maybe tie a bell to it.

[AdorexMexAngelica]

erk, cringe! I always get an adrenaline rush to kill these bastards!

[lonelycubicle]

@AdorexMexAngelica The crunching sound would have grossed me out!

[AdorexMexAngelica]

@lonelycubicle Haha xD what about the crunch of victory? Like he's dead but I'm not. Etc. Or maybe I'm just a little sadistic...

[MickeySHFOF]

I think I'd shit a brick if that happened to me.

[lonelycubicle]

@MickeySHFOF I was too irregular for brick shitting!

[InKedBig]

Guy: nucha get out my crib!

Spidey: Fuck yo couch...

[lonelycubicle]

@InKedBig HA!

[permanentcolours]

lmao its missing two legs HAHAH

[lonelycubicle]

@permanentcolours May be the only reason I am alive!

[MrEminem2787]

STEP ON IT

[lonelycubicle]

@MrEminem2787 Couldn't, was bare foot and already dealing with bat shit on the floor!

[quicksilverb1]

the question is, why is your bedroom in the amazon rainforest

[lonelycubicle]

@quicksilverb1 I was young and foolish then!

[RichardMayh3mBradley]

You sir are a brave man...i would have shit my pants

[lonelycubicle]

@RichardMayh3mBradley I kinda did the next day when I was told it was poisonous. I just assumed they would have told us if poisonous spiders may be visiting the room!

[gfanarakos]

black widow is a piece of cake comparing to a phoneutria better called a balack "kitty"

[lonelycubicle]

@gfanarakos MeOwch!

[gfanarakos]

fro the stripes its not easy to understand the phoneutria but since you were told so you had to beleive and take more measurements..

if i take a trip to th ejungle i will definately learn more

[lonelycubicle]

@gfanarakos I will wear boots to bed next time!

[Fitzsimmons1984]

I guess you could say he is on his last legs!?!?!?

[lonelycubicle]

@Fitzsimmons1984 Last six for sure!

[phille22]

kill the fucker. how the hell can you sleep in that noise

[lonelycubicle]

@phille22 The noise was the most memorable part, really was very nice and almost made me forget I was dripping with sweat in bed (no walls).

[phille22]

@lonelycubicle I wouldn't stay in that place if they paid me.

[tiddlywinks98712]

what the hell do u do if one of these is in ur room?? too big to squish...just put it under a bucket??

[lonelycubicle]

@tiddlywinks98712 I think a harpoon would work!

[tall32guy]

You're lucky she didn't bite ya ! You should have tried to catch her so you could make sure she would leave you alone. LOL

[lonelycubicle]

I don't know what I would have done if I knew it was poisonous. By the way, I was the only tourist in the entire lodge that night, so at least I would have had the Brazilian Wandering spider antidote all to myself if I got fanged and anyone heard my quickly faltering screams.

[tall32guy]

LOL!!!!

[Hiristis]

Goddamned it man..share the room with a so aggressive and dangerous creature..and with no light!!!

[lonelycubicle]

I was reading a blog of someone who is traveling where I would like to go next, and they mentioned being waken up by the sound of the lodge cat confronting a cobra. Yikes!! Maybe I'll sleep in a coat of armor pajamas.

[DarthTwilight]

@Hiristis sounds a little like being married. lmao

[beefygoblin]

And to think, I freak out after finding recluses and widows in the house (never in the same room...still awaiting the deathmatch) and those arn't even aggressive species.

Did you ever slept since the incident, I mean without the aid of pharmaceuticals.

[lonelycubicle]

My powers of denial are considerable!

Really, it was the heat and humidity of a wallless and electricityless room which kept me awake the most (though there was always the worry I would flop my foot outside the mosquito net by mistake).

[trickz1500]

hey lonely cubicle please answer my questions please ?

1.did you kill the spider after the video?

2.how could you sleep in the same room as him?i couldnt !

3.your awesome for getting that close !

thanks,bye!:)

[lonelycubicle]

1. No, I was going with the assumption it was not poisonious. Did not find out what type of spider it was until the next day when tour guide told me.

2. Not well the following nights, but that also had to do with the heat and humidity (no walls and no electricity at night). The most uncomfortable thing I remember is my face always being hot/oily when in bed.

3. I wouldn't have let myself get that close if I thought it was poisonous.

[bigpowerfulpeople]

ok now i'm afraid youtube will put videos like this on my main page for watching this. spiders scare the fuck out of me. how did you get rid of this thing?

[lonelycubicle]

I just made sure the spider was away from the bed where I was jumping in, and checked that the mosquito netting was secure around the bed. I didn't know it was poisonous until the next day when the tour guide told me it was a Wandering Brazilian spider.

[acquiesce100]

those fuckers chase you when you piss them off

[lonelycubicle]

Notice how the spider gets kind of close to my feet after I try and get some life back into it by moving the flashlight around (this was before I knew there was poisonous spiders in the area, but it worked (thank goodness it only had six legs!))

[tall32guy]

Funny! I wonder what happened to her other 2 legs. :)

[lonelycubicle]

I was kind of curious about that myself! But glad for the advantage it gave this unwary observer!

[cincyparity]

I would have squashed the spider, packed my things and left on the next flight out.

I heared those things can kill you quickly and actually seek out movement, imagine if you woke up getting attacked.

[lonelycubicle]

Yeah, I have to admit, it made sleeping a little more difficult when afraid that the slightest little hole in the mosquito net could allow something un-fun in. It makes me wonder how people can camp in the great outdoors in that area. I was upset the next day when I was told it was poisonous and the lodge did not inform us of them.

At the time I was assuming it was not dangerous, though I tried to not get too close. Squashing it I think would have made a very unpleasant crunching sound.

[insomniacsdeliberate]

Are you certain this was a wandering spider of the genus Phoneutria? Its kinda blurry but the stripes on the legs sure fits the discription pretty well with some species. Its definately not a brazilian wandering spider if you filmed it in Peru tho:)

[lonelycubicle]

The tour guides at the lodge where I videoed this spider said it was a Brazilian wandering spider. The stripes on its legs looks like the striping of the spider pictured at wikipedia for Brazilian wandering spider (the same wiki page lists Peru as one of the countries Phoneutria is found in.)

[bigsteak6989]

its main name now is banana spider it lives in other parts of south america to

[donnabocc]

right - clinton! I've been living away from Manhattan for too long!

[donnabocc]

Do you still have this spider in your hell's kitchen apartment? (excuse me, chelsea apt) I can't believe you got it on the plane.

[lonelycubicle]

Clinton apartment, but I decided to leave the spider where it found me.

[lazyserf]

That spider would have suffocated because I would have crapped all over it! There's no way I could have went to sleep with that thing on the loose.

[lonelycubicle]

There are some things I would not risk on a spider that I read can jump, and that is one of them!

[lazyserf]

Trust me, it would not have been a voluntary action on my part!

[lonelycubicle]

I almost forgot. I first saw the spider on the wall which was about 4 inches from the head of the bed, directly across from the mattress. I had just woken up and reached in front of the bed to get the key which I had hidden under the mattress. When I couldn't find the key (TOTALLY DARK, no electricity), I got up to get a flashlight which is when I saw the spider. My hand must have literally been inches from the spider.

[tall32guy]

Can you say SCARY??!! LOL!!!

[lonelycubicle]

I really didn't think it was a dangerous spider since thought the lodge would have warned us if dangerous spiders were about (they didn't) but was trying to be quite so as not to wake anyone up while jumping around.

[kozmon0t]

That's a deadly spider... you sure sounded scared

You can't put numbers on how venomous something is - spiders use different types of venom.Sidney funnel web females have the most potent venom mg for mg... but wanderers are way more aggressive. So they are deadliest. I might have tried to kill it. Risky but I go into primal mode when I see aggressive spiders. Maybe my ancestors were killed by spiders like that one. Never minded poisonous snakes though. Snakes are nice.

[lonelycubicle]

... also, I didn't want to admit it, but being scared and being out of shape sound amazingly similar!

[lonelycubicle]

A jellyfish with six tentacles.

[KingShark93]

this spider looks like an jellyfish

[jaktigmidblinx]

dude, how did u sleep? this is exactly why i dont want to ever go to the rainforest.

[lonelycubicle]

Not well, but that was mainly due to the heat and very porous misquito net (a bat could have flown through it.) If visiting, just get a room with four walls and you'll be fine!

[tall32guy]

Yeah with no cracks in the wall/floor joints and no windows! LOL!!!

[kakuzumaster]

scary thing is the spider is on the top 3 most dangrous things on this earth

[Badassmoafo]

You crazy man if that is what i think it is thats king of the spiders,

By the way it's not the most venomus animal on earth but its only 2nd to the box jelly fish,but im glad you took the time to post this and are alive to tell the tale.

[lonelycubicle]

Hmmm, maybe I misread the original wikipedia entry, (or maybe the entry changed) but either way, wikipedia currently says,

"The Brazilian wandering spiders appear in the Guinness Book of World Records 2007 as the world's most venomous spiders and are the spiders considered directly responsible for most human deaths due to envenomation from spider bites."

[Badassmoafo]

thats correct just not a jelly fish lol i pm you a link

[tyler3421]

looks like my roomates old spider that got away in the Condo. I still don't sleep well at night.

[jamestoat]

You must be out of your mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[donnabocc]

You're crazy! Was that a black widow spider? Were you in the Amazon at the time? Are you bringing it home? Did it get you in the end?

[pinoygauta]

the spider in this video is at least 3 times deadlier than the black widow spider.
