At least roaches don't get that big, I have a deathly fear of them.
In Alabama we get a lot of spiders too but they're never too big, the majority of them are just house spiders, wolf spiders, and occasionally a brown recluse. Every corner of every room had at least one spider in it most of the time.
Typical Australian day.
What the fuck, how do you even manage to accumulate such a massive collection of arachnids in your household.
Huntsmans aren't that bad. Although FUCKING HUGE they are harmless.
It is the small ones you have to look out for, like the red backs.
Still, I hate spiders, especially their webs. Excellent country for an arachnophobic to live in,
Wait, other countries don't have spider infestations like this?

Australia. Home to so many Godforsaken things that shouldn't exist.
SPOIDERS
I feel all itchy after watching this.
I had a friend from Australia, man was it nice having him around when I found a spider in my house. I would normally just kill it, he would be like "Nah, watch this." He would just pick it up and toss it outside, like him and the spider have a respect for each other because he is an aussie. Sure as shit I try and pick it up it will bite me...
Time to burn down the house and live in a cardboard box
Filing this under "Videos I shouldn't have watched at 2:00 AM."
I kinda like spiders. They are so damn crafty.
huntsman spiders are awesome

"thats a prehistoric spider if i ever saw one"

This guy lives in a house like that and just happens to have a syringe handy for measuring.
That's our Australia for you,
Reminds me of that time where I went to bed and saw 5-10 'small' spiders just chilling on my pillow.
Just placed them on another pillow and asked them nicely not to bother my bed again and then went to sleep.
That is not a funnel web spider at 2:50, it's a male mouse spider.
I find that spiders have a certain threshold of size at which point they stop being scary. Like a reasonably-sized one about the size of a fat kid's palm is pretty damn spooky, but the super-big ones are a bit easier to deal with because they're easier to find, define, and catch. Unless it's, like, a bird-eating spider.
But we don't talk about those.
I'm just imagining a giant faction war between all these species of spiders. The thought of it is glorious.

Typical Australian night.
Nothing out of the ordinary here

Nah, it's the daytime. The sun is just being blocked by spiderwebs.
I bet the Aussies are used to the spiders
If it was any other place in the world you'd piss your pants but in Aussieland, they'd hook the spiders right in the gabber m8
As an Australian i can confirm that we are immune to the aura of fear that spiders radiate
In fact our coming of age ritual involves getting bitten by a venomous spider and self-extracting and making the anti-venom.
Usually, spider videos don't creep me out. but this...
[QUOTE=LtKyle2;39646113]jesus fucking christ can we just bomb Australia from orbit and wipe these things off the face of the earth.
if there were that many spiders in my house which probably have a bite that will fuck up my body i'd drop dead from my heart exploding in fear[/QUOTE]
I would genuinely move out of my house at the very least, I would also consider just burning it down. When I was painting my house there was a spider on the wall, about the size of bottle lid, which is big for where I live, and I just painted around it.
