That isn't the goliath bird-eater, dude - this is:

You know what's not funny? Scrolling down to see that pic, when at the exact same moment something is flying near my ear.

Yeah, Queensland is not somewhere I'm in a hurry to visit...
Has pretty much all of the most venomous snakes in the world...
Killer spiders.
THAT spider.
Box jellyfish.
Sharks.
Crocs.
Tropical Cyclones.

That said I'm going to the Gold Coast early next year...

Okay, the fact that it spun a web strong enough to catch a BIRD flying in mid-air is crazy in the first place...not to mention that it wants to feast on it.

It's like something out of science fiction.

Now I won't sleep again until Friday.

Considering spider silk is as strong as steel, it's not that hard to believe. Bats have been known to get caught in webs as well.

I love spiders.

Except Black Widows. They can die for all I care.

I kinda wish I woulda caught that spider and kept it as a pet.

Aww, how cute.

No thanks.

Jumping spiders are my favorite kind of spiders. They have more "personality" and are very curious, non-threatening, and dare I say cute?

Scientists studying northeastern Greenland’s hairy, meat-eating wolf spiders have discovered every arachnophobe’s worst nightmare.

It appears that as the Earth has been warming and summers have been getting longer, the 8-legged hunters have been steadily growing larger and more numerous. And it’s likely that other creepy-crawly species around the world could be growing larger too.

Dear God..................*shudders*

I am totally terrified of spiders...but they kind of fascinate me at the same time! I don't know why I have an irrational fear of them (there was this one incident when I was like 2.....) but I blame the scuttling. I hate the scuttling!!!

You guys sure that spider isn't a Black and Yellow Argiope? That's what I immediately thought when I first looked at it.

Same here, for some reason, when I see a spider, my mind automatically makes it appear 20 times larger than it is.
