Deadly Spider in My Bedroom! Amazon Rainforest in Peru.

That's a Brazilian Wandering Spider invading my bed space while I was staying at a wallless Amazon Rainforest lodge in Peru. Thankfully, this spider only has six legs which is probably the only reason I am alive to post this video! Most venemous animal [correction: most deadly spider] in the world per the authoritative wikipedia. There is no electricity at night and it was cloudy, so there is absolutely zero source of light so when I started to see psychedelic like lights in my vision I thought it was either a reaction to severe sensory deprivation or a spiritual experience, but turned out to be an ocular migraine.

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!

@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).

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.

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

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.

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

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