  • Alot of you are freaking pussies when it comes to spiders. They aren't out to get you. They are just trying to survive like anything else.

  • Who felt something crawling on them while watching this?

    I will agree with you that, if we're referring to a goliath, a hospital is unnecessary. The T. blondi's biggest problem is merely that their fangs are just HUGE, andhat really is 85% of the pain yielded from getting tagged by one. And so few species are potentially fatal.

    BUT, certain species, like a few of the Poecilotheria genus, cause mind-numbingly painful bites that do make it necessary to head for the hospital.

  • Option D- Faint!!!

  • so the spider doesnt find ANYTHING off about the fact that its crawling on a moving landmass? like, what if he was on a rock hurdling down a cliff at 85 miles an hour?

  • Omg is that a snake?!

  • ohhhh how cute :)

  • i would crap my pants if i saw that thing to me its looking at the eyes and the mouth

  • go goose bumps while watching this!

  • if by "do nothing" you mean SHIT YOUR PANTS then i think i'm definitely capable of surviving a tarantula encounter

  • HOLY SHIT

  • step on it
