Help Honey... There's a Spider!

[imjustawhiteguy]

do you guys speak Japanese 

[odObo01]

Wow neat video... And very informative :) great closeup too

[WaruiTanuki]

Great close up of this beautiful spider! Some people actually collected several hundred thousand golden orb weavers from Madagascar, harvested the silk ( with only a few casualties, as I recall ), and wove an 11-foot tapestry sort of thing out of it.

[bokuwahaikara]

I love your natural, calm response, it's a shame that more people don't adopt your attitude towards such wonderful creepy crawlies like our friend the Golden Orb Spider.

[Kretek]

Wow. Your wife is very brave :D

[softypapa]

@Kretek She blew me away with this one!

She is a pretty tough gal with some things

though put a snail in front of her and she

runs and hides. -Kurt :-)

[lTzzDan]

I don't like spiders nor do i want to get bit by one but there fasinating to watch

[wtfbroskie]

LOL, "BYE BYE" *tosses spider*

[pitbul317]

cool ur wife has balls lol JK i wanna pick one up but om 2 affraid but im fasinated by them!!

[stalker104]

I've got arachnophobia :( ... I don't wanna have!

[MaikeI631]

Same for me. If I would see SUCH a BIG spider, I would, slowly begin to walk away, and in the end run away to someone, like my dad, who just smashes it....

Brrr.... I cant stand spiders...

[stalker104]

exactly the same here... i think i couldn't stand the view of my legs o_o

[CounterNerd]

i'm a sissy when it comes to spiders,if i would've seen that one in my room,i'd be on the other side of the world in a blink of an eye

[dmarie1184]

Ok so I have a phobia of spiders and I think I'd be at the other end of the room squealing. ThThe fact that you even got close enough to video it... I couldn't stop cringing as I watched this video. o_O And she just picked it up with her hands?! Yeah, I don't think I could even use a butterfly net.

[JaskoNL]

5 stars for mom ... she's so cool :P

[00Neven]

nice u didn't killed him. I appreciate it. Tnx!!

[siesiek123]

5 stars for the awesomest combination of bravery and BYE BYE! :3

Oh, btw, I love Japanese people! They are the best EVER!!!

[losthope219]

u cant say that just cuz your chinese either,

[siesiek123]

@losthope219

...what? I can't say what because I'm Chinese?

And I'm not even Chinese...I'm German...

[KoopaThaKing]

That spider was huge.

[Broctarrh]

eeeek ^^

SHE-RA kicked the spiders butt^^ I would have taken the butterfly net as well... But these animals are a real good reason, not to travel to Japan ^^

[Skaijo]

I was laughing along with this video throughout. You're such a bug-lover. You're whole analysis rivals fictional anime/sci-fi character archetypes.

Awesome Mom action at the end is always nice to see. You guys make a powerful team.

[caldavis33]

wow! brass!!

[Yondaimecurser]

lol "BYE BYE"

[chikotube]

5 stars for MOM

[moni370]

[grivderfx]

Eeeeck! I don't like them a bit, lol.

[Superdude512]

[Rwag69]

[DrTazMage]

5 Stars for your wife not using a butterfly net to catch a spider! :)

[japanthinglover]

[colquitt2010]

Super Mom!

[FeileCase]

~LOL~ :)

[freakmrhyde]

Thumb up for your wife !!!

[oconano]

Wow, that woman is awesome! Great job in "snagging" her!  =)

[yozka]

wow with out hesitation your wife is awesome!

[MicknFumi]

Wow she just grabbed it, I can do that with daddy long leg spiders. But I wouldn't do that with one of those. Looks too much like a huntsman, which I have a bit of a phobia of, since I was stuck in a car with one when I was a kid & it bit me.

[softypapa]

Hello MicknFumi, Wow! You were bit? I'm sorry that you had such an experience when you were little which must have indeed been scary. Can I ask you a question or two? 1.) Was the spider accidentally provoked into biting by laying a hand or foot on it or did it come to you and make a bite? 2.) Do you remember how the bite felt or any effects? I've only met one person previously who had been bitten (an old farmer) and he described the bite as painful but otherwise not serious. Thanks in advance!

[MicknFumi]

We were visiting my mums friend in hospital, who had just had a baby. Mum parked under a tree for shade during a hot summer day & we left the windows down a little so the car didn't get too hot. The leafy branches were touching the roof & the huntsman must have considered the car a better place to be. It was an old Datsun (Nissan) which had interior lights in the back. But one of the covers were missing.

[MicknFumi]

The spider crept out from there, I saw it out of the corner of my eye as I looked out out the window. Then made its way across the roof above me. I told my mum who looked back & said its ok it won't hurt me. Famous last words lol. For not long after it fell down between my legs & bit me on the inside of my thigh. It bloody hurt until the next day & was itchy the next day. But yeah not so serious physically. But now I have a tendency to punch them when I see them, before they run & hide.

[softypapa]

Wow! That's quite a story. I can certainly understand your current feelings toward these big spiders and share your reluctance to get near or touch them. The effect of the bite matches that of the old man I spoke with her who had been bitten ie painful yet not serious. Thank you so much for sharing. I really appreciate it! -Kurt :-)

[Luminasita]

ROFL Yumiko rules, that was awesome!

Interesting spider! After hearing the black widow part though, I'd still rather the net ;)

~Kat

[softypapa]

Hello Kat, Yumiko is a real pro with the spiders though she runs like the wind whenever Emily (or I) pick up a slug (she was not at all fond of my recent slug video). I am still amazed that she did that though nothing about her is less than amazing in my book! Thanks for watching and commenting! -Kurt :-)

[lostinxlation]

Nicely done..

I have no problem with 6 leg creatures, but not a big fan of those with 8 or more legs.

[softypapa]

Hello lostinxlation, Very well put! -Kurt :-)

[Strideo1]

I'm not brave enough to do that. -_-

[JapanielGuerrera]

"He-man" married a She-Woman =)

[softypapa]

Hello JapanielGuerrera, That's the truth! However, at least she still needs me to open jars sometimes... -Kurt :-)

[reaper4255]

LOL at 3:13

"That's how you do it!"

[Jahar]

Yumiko is the most awesome person I have ever seen.

[softypapa]

Hello jahar, I agree completely! -Kurt :-)

[weya]

lol! Yumiko has serious spidey-catching skills!

As for that spider,

Ah, memories.... Those used to be all over my house in Florida, and I cannot tell you how many times one of them ended up on my face or in my hair thanks to many games of backyard hide-and-seek. :S

[Kskylin]

We have quite a bit of these in oklahoma. Very pretty.

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

We have them in Oz.. the webs are amazing and a really passive critter.

We get different ones in our Japan aparto :-D

[reymiland]

I am so glad to see you not harm the spider. All life is sacred. And a nice learning experience too.

Thank you.

[Belenor]

kill it with fire! man the harpoons!

[mhensley81]

That's funny! Nice spider.

[Motouyuu]

That was so cool, and neat. Also fun to watch. Nice loving family.
