creepy article about spiders eating stuff that we would normally not expect a spider to be able to eat

It can be tough to gauge scale in this video, but the body of the spider (not including the legs) is about the size of a baseball!

Road trip to the Amazon? That would be a large helping of Nope with extra Nope on the side thank you

Mother nature can often be cruel.

I can tolerate snakes if they move slow or sit still, make no hectic movements, same with spiders and such animals, I even can enjoy the beauty of their visual appearance. But when they start to race around like that and move frantically, I flip out, some deep-rooting instincts then take over completely.

Once saw a film about a sprinting black mamba, one of the fastest amongst snakes, and on the ground it even started to jump, 1.5 or 2 m wide and high. Humans cannot run away from them, they are too fast, and in mating season they are also extremely aggressive, furious. I had a hard night that day.

Live and let live, I tell it. But move gently, I also tell it.

What leaves me relaxed and unimpressed, are bees, wasps and hornets.
