Tree Frog Spider Hunting (Cupiennius salei)

A very fast spider that lives in tropical areas, high up in the trees. Not deadly like it's cousin Phoneutria. A good spider for beginners too. If u don't mind the jumping skills...

Hey, me again. Is this species more venomous then the super venomous brazilian wandering spider?

[DJAlMighty247]

@STFUbelgium Noup, this spider is harmless and there fore a good choice.

[GassyBastard]

Why do you keep a ferocious spider?

[DJAlMighty247]

@GassyBastard I think that all spiders are ferocious when they hunt and attack. Most of the time they are calm, even the poisonous wandering spider; Phoneutria.

@DJAlMighty247 if you ever travel to singapore, go to sungei buloh wetland reserve. there are hyllus diadri . be discreet you are not supposed to catch anything .

[DJAlMighty247]

@keeyk118b Yes, Phidippus and Hyllus, but at the moment they are way too small for a video. Maybe later...

The freakiest part of the video was the sound it makes when it pounces on the grasshopper. Made my hair stand right up straight. Erector pili!
