Believing things are tough? You might be in a situation like this guy.

Can I get a species check and a danger level please? Anyone a spider-knower?
B
Looks like your regular flat huntsman to me. They’re pretty chill and go by either Henry or Harry
L
Almost all spiders are non-lethal from what I understand. He could just use some stick or long object to get it out lmao
H
Ahh just get your finger in there and give her butt a little poke, she’ll find her way out.
H
Not if you’re in Australia, which is also the land of the harmless Huntsman homies
L
There are a couple of lethal spiders in Australia and that goes for North America too. Most spiders are shy and don’t seek to bite people.
H
Oh sure, I’m just saying Australia seems disproportionately risky
L
Yeah absolutely! I mean I feel like there are more things in general that can kill you there than North America based upon my current knowledge of the continent lmao
H
Possibly, just more venomous things in Australia
K
I think Australia gets exaggerated for some reason. When I think about Africa or South America they make Australia seem pretty mild. Many parts of Asia are probably just as dangerous if not more so.
D
It has a higher concentration of the most venomous/deadly animals. Doesn’t mean you’re at significant more risk for just living there.
H
You’re probably right, but all the other continents are also bigger than Australia
A
Basically every spider can be lethal with the right circumstances but there’s really only 2 really considered lethal and thats the Funnel Web (so yeah Australia) and the Brazilian wandering spider.
D
Key word: almost
G
or fire.

Being scared shitless of this type of spider and having someone tell you “it’s harmless it’s more scared of you than you are of it” is literally THE rite of passage for being an Australian and I’ll die on this hill
S
Impossible to know without a location and better pics. Its either a regular old huntsman of some variety, or a Six Eyed Sand Spider, one of the more medically significant spiders.
R
That’s his headset now
A
He streams his music over the web
H
He’s an MC who goes by Anansiation
R
Good reference! (Jamaican here)
H
Thank you! Did the “enunciation” part of the pun land? It felt pretty clear when I was thinking it, but after just reading it out loud, it doesn’t seem as obvious.

It didn’t… But it does now 🙂

Here is a cool Anansi video my friend’s kid made. It gives a nice modern touch but retains the entire deceptive/manipulative nature of Anansi… [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4Zd8Yfs4UI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4Zd8Yfs4UI)

He’s a DJ and he’s dropping a track on the Web later today.
I
Goddammit.
K
If i were a spider, i would just lay eggs on everything i like. “Mine, Mine, Mine” – works everytime.
S
*puts on headphones* *Record scratch* “Huh, what, I haven’t played anything yet”

8tracks is back, baby

If your aim was to get me to laugh audibly in a setting where laughing audibly would be frowned upon, then you have achieved your goal. Well done.
L
I’m watching this with my headset on, not a nice feeling
I
Also… Don’t. Turn. Around.
T
FFS, he said it tickled his ear.
N
I would rip off my own head if that happened to me.
F
Best way to listen to your favorite web streamer.
T
Get out
W
Sweet Jesus. What kind of spider is that? Was the guy in any danger? It sounds like it might have been trying to get the dude turned on with the ear tickling.
B
Huntsman spiders are relatively mellow as far as Aussie spiders go!
C
He said he felt something tickle his ear. That might have been the spider telling him “Hey, uh, occupied. Occupied! Ocupado?”
C
That… didn’t answer the question. “Relative” is relative.
B
Haha point taken. However, as an Australian, I have to say: 1. These guys were in my bedroom growing up, they don’t really do anything except kill critters and move really fast when you don’t want them to. But that’s just because they’re super shy! 2. They like to flatten themselves (hence the colloquial name ‘flat huntsman’) to hide (seriously! Super shy little scaredy-cats) 3. I have never seen or experienced a bite, but I have read it’s about the same as a bee sting, so I guess that’s not terrible. And finally, 4. Yes, Australia has some big bads in the spider-verse, but they give the rest of them a bad name! Go look up the peacock spider – so cute! And the Christmas spider is pretty cool too! Now, do I want a huntsman crawling up my leg any time soon? No – that happened to me when I was 7 and I shat my pants, I can’t lie. My sister left me there screaming it was very traumatic. But even while I was standing there screaming my head off and carrying on like a pork chop, he never bit me ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
M
It’s almost certainly a kind of huntsman. They’re a very common spider in some places – especially Northern Australia. They are neither particularly aggressive nor “medically significant”. Maybe a step up from a bee sting, but not in any real danger.
F
Earachnids i hear are malevolent creatures
L
Lmao go to hell. That was good.
Y
All fun and games until she squirts kiddy spideys in the ear. (I’ll show myself out)
H
Nice. My thumb took me back to the homepage right as I was reading this comment. I felt compelled to come back and give it an upvote.

Is this Australia?
