It's only a Huntsman Spider (only one I can think of that big). Relatively harmless, except to the cat. It looks rather cute.

 

[TAJ]

One of the cats I had would have eaten that within 10 seconds of it coming inside.

You can't even sit on a lawn chair over there, you gotta flip over every piece of furniture and make sure none of those fucks are there chillin.

 

[RyanW]

I was promised there would be a cat for scale.

There's a video in the article

 

[AudioEppa]

Yeaaaaahhhh i'm never going to Australia...

I hate you 😭😂

 

[Mimosa97]

Anyone want to still argue that australians aren't the most badass people on earth? No one? Okay.

Like wtf how can you live in peace knowing that there are giant spiders roaming around your garden

AND THEY EVEN TRIED TO HAVE A FUCKING BARBECUE LIKE IT'S NO BIG DEAL

Because these spiders are relatively harmless the same way a black bear is in American backyards.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

My favorite thing about all this is new born baby huntsman are bigger than full grown spiders here.

 

[Ventara]

Ms Ansell said the creature, which she quickly named Aragog

This is how legendary monsters are born.

 

[jfkgoblue]

ROFL gave me a slight jump.

 

[Laekon]

The cat wasn't for scale, it was an offering to the spider.

 

[Trojita]

Harry Potter nerd name. They can't even name it after the Tolkien creature.

 

[jwk94]

Of course it's Australia. That spider is a monster.

Imagine losing it in your home. I'd move out.

Lmao! For once, that's a logical decision.

 

[Mrbob]

Brb canceling my trip to Australia.

 

[Syntsui]

Holy shit at that second video. Biggest jump scare I've had this year.

 

[Wyndstryker]

Its only a giant spider.

Just find it's weakpoint like every other giant spider in games.

 

[Izuna]

that fucking gif gets me every time

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Did the spider call them a cunt

 

[Sunster]

 

[PaulloDEC]

That's a big guy. Can't say I've seen one that size before.

Betrayal.

I'm just picturing the cat flailing in terror as the owner moves it closer to the spider.

 

[KibblesBits]

These creatures are getting too big. Isn't their form supposed to be unsupportable at larger sizes? Oh no no no no no no.

 

[Oberon]

How is a giant spider entering a home in Australia newsworthy? Aren't they used to those?
Just try to catch it with a bucket or something.

 

[Raziel]

 

[jmdajr]

Mother Fuck...

Banning guns was a mistake.

 

[_Nemo]

All hell spawns from Australia. Why does that place even exist?

 

[Jaeger]

Huntsman Spider. Some people keep them as pets.

 

[Jedi2016]

Aragog.. heh.

 

[Conkersbadfurday]

It just wanted to help them do a cookout

 

[The Living Tribunal]

nope.

ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT EUROPA AUSTRALIA. ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE. USE THEM TOGETHER. USE THEM IN PEACE.

We need some amusement to go with all the crap that we're seeing nowadays.

 

[Media]

It can't be that bad, I mean tarantulas are kinda cute and...

nope.

 

[Slermy]

Wow, that's pretty large.

Also, it's apparently related to these awesome guys (wheel spiders):

HUNTS

MAN

 

[DudeWithNoName]

I'm not even afraid of spiders, but if I came across that thing I'd fucking faint. For real.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Harry Potter nerd name. They can't even name it after the Tolkien creature.

Depends on if they know it's male or female.

Male: Aragog
Female: Shelob...or Charlotte.

 

[Zeyphersan]

I legit had a dream (nightmare) the other night that a spider about that big was crawling on the wall beside my bed

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

nope.

Holy shit, some get Thomas Jane to kill that mother fucker.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Someone help me out. I seem to remember many many years ago watching a special (on PBS, probably) about what would happen to the Earth when humanity left for interstellar travel.

As I recall, they hypothesized that spiders would become the dominant land animals, growing in size and intelligence and covering the planet's land masses in giant web colonies.

 

[commedieu]

Holy shit, some get Thomas Jane to kill that mother fucker.

I think the family would rather live.

 

[Hypemaster]

That is a hostage situation.

That's where the entrance to the hollow earth is.

If we're thinking of the same show, it's called The Future is Wild.

 

[FoxhoundNL]

What if it laid eggs eggs somewhere and they didn't notice til later

Spoiler

??????

wtf

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

nope.

Amygdala, Amygdala have mercy on the poor fool

 

[Bronx-Man]

It's always Australia.


The fuck is in the water over there?

GodDAMN I jumped.

Hahaha, I don't even usually think I have a problem with spiders

 

[Zushin]

Thankfully Huntsman spiders are harmless. They look intimidating as fuck though when you come across one. I got in my car to drive home from work one day and there was one hiding in between the furthest left side of my car door and where it comes together with the car, near the hinge. Scuttled INTO a hole in the car door. Suffice to say I was nervous the entire trip home. Get home, get out of car and the fucker was on the roof. How he got there still stumps me to this day.

 

[Lucky Seven]

If you're not a high enough level and don't even own gear to fight that thing, don't live there! Stupid noobs
