Upset Female Huntsman Spider Ready to Bite

[strictlyformyninja]

Fascinating how she sways from side to side and attempts to look big and threatening by stretching out her legs.

Its no wonder 1 of these bit me today, it looked like that and i didnt read the warning signs, I put my hand to let it walk on and it bit me, frightend the shit out of me!

[DoctorRossPerry]

@halo3guyy I am sorry you got bitten but let's make the most of your experience and share with us what it felt like say compared with a bee or bull-ant or blue bottle sting, did the bitten area swell up, change colour, did you have any systemic reaction such as feeling faint, head ache, nausea etc. Did the spider die? Was it a male or female? Where was it when you got bitten? ;-))

[halo3guyy]

@DoctorRossPerry all I felt was a prick because i reacted so fast i dont think it got the fangs in very deep, got a hell of a fright tho i didnt expect to be bitten

In the words of Steve Erwin........."oh she's pissed off now......your alright mate your alright"

DESTROY IT WITH SPEARS

[DoctorRossPerry]

@RoboLaserCat Have you given so much of your powers and presents away that you let a little video of a little spider evoke such a fearful response? What a common meme in our society! Helps big brother sell pesticides to us and does little to evoke respect wonder and love for all the creatures with whom we experience this life.

[RoboLaserCat]

@DoctorRossPerry ok. BURN IT WITH FIRE. But i am joking i hope you know. I uphold the sanctity of all life every day, i live and let live with every being i come across and i would not have it any other way. Creatures such as this magnificent spider deserve to prosper grow without worrying about humans killing them out of a misplaced fear. They are all beautiful, and deserve to be left to their own devices to eek a living from what they know. I humbly apologise for any offense i have caused.

[DoctorRossPerry]

@RoboLaserCat Thank you for giving me and all the following viewers this clarity. It is positive and very helpful. Fear has been used to influence control disempower and divide us from the tiniest to the biggest and apparently most important things in our lives. I am frequently reminded "Am I coming from Love?", "is this or that coming from love" "Where & what fear is in this (attitude, statement, advertisement etc) & how is it being used to manipulate & control human behaviour?" "What love do?"

Dang, she's fast! And SO BIG!

[thebikerboi2]

The bite probably disentangle hurt that much, no venom feels like pin prick

[DoctorRossPerry]

They hurt! My experience was not much worse than a bee, wasp or bull-ant sting but then I'm probably not allergic or hypersensitive and I have a high pain threshhold... best not to get bitten. Respect and know your creatures well, now your reflexes, and know what to do and not to do!

[TurboCathedral]

@DoctorRossPerry The part at the end, where she bolted to the left...did she bite you? I've read that they'll give an intruder plenty of opportunity to back off before rushing it and biting. I would imagine that, like most spiders, this one would give a dry bite when given out of defense.

[DoctorRossPerry]

@TurboCathedral No, I did not get bitten. The only time I got bitten was when I was much younger and hadn't tuned into the importance of gentle loving handling if you intend to pick up and hold one of these spiders. Where I live, I would probably have occasion to move one tho not usually as big as this one, out of the house perhaps monthly. I do so with bare cupped hands together.

[1990babyface]

@DoctorRossPerry Do they bite & kill people?

[DoctorRossPerry]

@1990babyface They bite people occasionally if mishandled but don't attack people as a rule and their bites are not fatal to us.

[1990babyface]

@DoctorRossPerry Cause I've seen the movie Arachnophobia & I've been scared since then. I want to overcome my fear of them & Ive fallen in love with them at the same time. Is there any way to overcome my fear of them?

[ludwig770]

@1990babyface I know what you mean! I hate these things, but any other spider I'm fine.

[1990babyface]

@ludwig770 Why they dont kill people. They're completely harmless. Why dont you kiss one or let one lay in your face?

[1990babyface]

@DoctorRossPerry HOW DO THEY MOVE SO FAST?

[CRIMSONxFROST]

uuuuhhhh.... some dude told me their bites don't hurt..... Look at those fangs.... Makes me think twice if it hurts or not.

[BooshgaFilms]

@CRIMSONxFROST agreed lol

even if the venom isn't potent the fangs would certainly give you a nasty nip

[CRIMSONxFROST]

@BooshgaFilms lol no kidding.

[1990babyface]

@CRIMSONxFROST You scared?

[CRIMSONxFROST]

@1990babyface Yeah

[1990babyface]

@CRIMSONxFROST They cant kill you. She cant kill you.

[CRIMSONxFROST]

@1990babyface still looks menacing and probably has a nasty bite. I'd torch it... with a torcher.

[1990babyface]

@CRIMSONxFROST It doesnt have a nasty bite. Kiss It or Play With It on your face.

[CRIMSONxFROST]

@1990babyface Can I play with it on the sole of my shoe?

[1990babyface]

@CRIMSONxFROST Sure. As I said it cant kill you

[GideonSawyer]

awwww she's guarding her babies! great vid!

[1990babyface]

@GideonSawyer Do they kill?

[GideonSawyer]

@1990babyface Not at all, might leave a mark from a nasty pinch but that's about it.

[1990babyface]

@GideonSawyer What about those sharp fangs?
