http://www.DrRossPerry.com.au with holistic vet Dr Ross Perry gives you a view of a close encounter with a quite justifiably upset adult female Huntsman Spider filmed at Bawley Point, NSW on 240710. She would have been preparing her nest site under a large strip of gumtree bark on an Eucalypt tree when disturbed by Dr Ross Perry while looking for insects to photograph. Because she was ready to lay her eggs, as evident by her bulging "abdomen", her behaviour was "high alert defensive". Usually Dr Perry confidently picks up Huntsman Spiders with his bare hands after sending them calming loving energy, similar to what he often does with caged birds. However not this one while she was so upset! If you can take your eyes of her fangs note the parasitic orange mites on her abdomen and legs! Learn and see lots more at DrRossPerry com au.

  • 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!

  • @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? ;-))

  • DESTROY IT WITH SPEARS

  • @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.

  • @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.

  • @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?"

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

  • @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"

  • @GideonSawyer What about those sharp fangs?
