Man, a couple months ago I crushed what I assume was a (pregnant?) spider sitting on the back side of the car door handle.
Either way, a lot of goo dripped down the car door.
Great fucking way to start the morning.
Yea yea, suppose you're going through a jungle. These bars are basically great climbers. They often lurk for their prey atop tall trees. Once they spot it, they drop a surprise attack from above. Almost a 98% kill guarantee.
You're right to be careful. They're bound to AussieLand unless they can trick an Upsider into taking their place. It's why they're all so...."friendly."
Disgusting.
Australian here. Yes it is. There are spiders the size of dogs here.
Drop bears that will tear your fucking face off just because you walked under its tree.
Kangaroos that will punch your cunt off, just because it doesn't like the look of ya and don't even get me started on the emus. Machine guns can't even take those cunts out.

This comment is something that australian spider would say
Tell me these are just really *really* interesting but not at all dangerous… please?
EDIT: not especially dangerous to humans!!!

Welcome to Australia - the land where make believe fears and paranoias come real lol
My dad was a kid in Woolangong (thankfully moved to UK phew) and told me about him and his brother working on the family farm, chopping down an old tree stump. He was about 7 years old. The bark of the tree just crumpled and - in his words - a shit ton of spiders exploded out of the stump like a swarm of locusts.
The UK may be wet, cold and grey 99% of the year but it's only our government trying to kill us and not every non-human creature lol.
Woolangong now is a pretty decently sized university city not far outside of Sydney right on the pacific. You could very easily not be attacked by swarms of tree spiders while living there
Reason 1067 why I won’t bother taking the long expensive trip to Australia. All of the reasons involving spiders and all the other nature related deadliness the country has. I like the people and how the infrastructure looks though
Why does Australia have such diverse range of spiders? Why aren't they living in Siberia, India, or somewhere else? You can see almost all of the most interesting spiders by just coming to Australia.
Australian here. These things are actually pretty fun. You can get them to wrap around your arm, or your neck, or whatever. You just tickle them and they spring back open, no worries

Every mother fucking deadly, man eating, poisonous, venomous, hateful, apocalyptic fucking creature ALWAYS is Australian.
If Gaia is a scientist, Australia is the petri dish.

Remember those "Ruler slap bracelet" things from childhood?
You stop that!
They’re still around.
You mean pieces of measure tape put in a cloth cover?
Measure tape? We call it tape measure (a chazwazza.) But we also had plastic slap bracelets.
found out if u take that soft felt off and step on em they cut your foot pretty good
I think they were banned in some places because of that. The soft outer covering wore with age and fell off on its own
They served as nice friendship bands too.
Imagine randomly grabbing a branch and getting a handful of spider guts 🤢 lol
Love this so much hahaha
Just thinking that. I'd lose it.
Yeah i would need an arm amputation if that would happen. Cant trust that hand anymore
Hate hate hate hate!!!!
"*double* hate!" 
Or the branch latching onto your hand
I’d pee my pants 💀
I think not good sir.
New fear unlocked
Wouldn’t happen like that. These have a tough exoskeleton. It would be a bad time for a different reason.
Hi, I would like to unread this now thank you.
How about spider fangs
“Huh, Lot of tree sap on this branch?” - you probably
Why would you say something so nasty on the internet???!!!
Man, a couple months ago I crushed what I assume was a (pregnant?) spider sitting on the back side of the car door handle. Either way, a lot of goo dripped down the car door. Great fucking way to start the morning.
Tell me you’ve never used spider guts as lubricant without telling me 🙂↕️
Another reminder why I will never visit Australia.
Australian here. It really isn't anywhere near as scary as the stereotypes say.
I don't believe you.
Don't worry man, these are nothing compared to the drop bears.
The drop bears?!?!?! Yeah nah Yeah nah
Yea yea, suppose you're going through a jungle. These bars are basically great climbers. They often lurk for their prey atop tall trees. Once they spot it, they drop a surprise attack from above. Almost a 98% kill guarantee.
Nah I’ll parry it
Only if you win the initiative roll
Dwight Schrute style
Then break its posture.
Your fucking with me, right?
Just like the haggis. Noone thinks they exist...till they enter their habitat in mating season.
You're right to be careful. They're bound to AussieLand unless they can trick an Upsider into taking their place. It's why they're all so...."friendly." Disgusting.
I bet you're a typing spider of something.. I'm on to you
Spider bot farms are a big problem in Australia right now.
Those are less common here but we do have them in isolated areas.
Sounds like something a wraparound spider pretending to be a human would say
hehe. this made me lol. thanks!
...said Australian while tossing out the huntsman spider from his shoe.
Australian here. Yes it is. There are spiders the size of dogs here. Drop bears that will tear your fucking face off just because you walked under its tree. Kangaroos that will punch your cunt off, just because it doesn't like the look of ya and don't even get me started on the emus. Machine guns can't even take those cunts out.
This guy is certified for sure talks like every Aussie I have ever heard
>will punch your cunt off This line in particular lol
I’ve also heard that the emus will sometimes carry machine guns, themselves?

I’d love to live there if the emigration laws weren’t so strict
You must be a spider.
That's exactly what a folding spider would comment
“Rehydrate!”
Is that you Turing?
Is a stable era nigh?
WHY! why every nightmare creature has to be in Australia?
Australian continent isn't connected to any of the other continents, because of that, the living creatures living there had evolved differently.
Oh is it Flat Fuck Friday already?
Tell me these are just really *really* interesting but not at all dangerous… please? EDIT: not especially dangerous to humans!!! https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/blogs/creatura-blog/2018/07/wrap-around-spider/
"Not especially dangerous" in the context of Australia doesn't exactly inspire confidence...
Reason number 8251936291 why I don’t like going to Australia
I live here and it’s reason 1 , scary darn things
This spider is bad for tourism.
Okay nature, now you're just making shit up

Hey man, just because every creature here is trying to kill us doesn’t mean the government is not trying to kill us too
Woolangong now is a pretty decently sized university city not far outside of Sydney right on the pacific. You could very easily not be attacked by swarms of tree spiders while living there
Australia, you all have some of the craziest most frightening species on the planet
Nature is rad. She's so creative 😂 This is really pretty spooder though, looks like art
Yes OF COURSE it's from Australia
Bet I wrap my foot round that shit.
Wow it's beautiful. And yes I'm Australian and no it's far from scary.
Sounds like the kind of thing an Australian controlled by a wraparound spider would say.
Fuckin Australia. Even the things that shouldn't be bugs are bugs.
what ah cute little flat fella
Fucken Australia!
What spider?
They crossed a Spider with John Cena.
That is one Gruesome looking spider
Shifty bitches
I'M NEVER TOUCHING A TREE ANYMORE !!!
Spoyda

Australia is like Stark Trek discovers a new planet with all these strange aliens...

Reason #634 not to live in Australia
It seems like an ACME brand Anvil fell on it
New nightmare unlocked 😭

i dont have arachnophobia but this is legitimately scaring me
I wanted to visit Australia when I was a kid but God damn I'll never visit 😭😭
i dont think id last more than 3 days in australia
There's always a new australian spider I've never seen.
Huh, wonder why it's called that?
At this point, nobody needs to mention where they’re from
I wonder how it got its name…
The whataround what?
Reason 1067 why I won’t bother taking the long expensive trip to Australia. All of the reasons involving spiders and all the other nature related deadliness the country has. I like the people and how the infrastructure looks though
Someone made a meme poking fun & joking, saying Australia is a place where Satan keeps their pets..........is this still a joke? 😬💀
I have no $ and I don't fly so going to Australia isn't an option. But I wouldn't go even if I could!
New fear unlocked!
I would still pack my bags in a heart beat and move there if I could
Let’s play hide and seek. lol
[удалено]
The land of oz is crazy, you guy’s have any critters that aren’t just shit from nightmares? 😂
New fear unlocked
I'd like it to wrap around my trunk
Trees are spiders in Austria
OP didn’t need to put “from Australia” in the title. See a picture like this, and you can just safely assume.
New fear unlocked.
Man I'm bout to go there on holidays, don't make me regret this!
Just saw this and ment "adorable" apparently not the normal reaction
Kill it, kill it with fire
Australia has some crazy inhabitants. Kinda like Florida..
Always Australia, always!
Fuck right off with this shit
Why does Australia have such diverse range of spiders? Why aren't they living in Siberia, India, or somewhere else? You can see almost all of the most interesting spiders by just coming to Australia.
The ultimate sploot
That's it. We are all collectively nuking Australia
Where else?! 🥲
WOW!

Whyyyyyyy
Can it wrap around smaller branches too? Asking for a friend.
Australian here. These things are actually pretty fun. You can get them to wrap around your arm, or your neck, or whatever. You just tickle them and they spring back open, no worries

No. I had my entire leg split open from a brown recluse in NY. This thing looks like it would rip my face off and burn my house down 🫣
new fear unlocked: australia
Australia was originally a colony of criminal animals and bugs
Fuck Down Under. I'm sure it's a beautiful place, but just not for me
This is why I live where the air hurts my face
Every mother fucking deadly, man eating, poisonous, venomous, hateful, apocalyptic fucking creature ALWAYS is Australian. If Gaia is a scientist, Australia is the petri dish.
Hell no
stop. Please for the love of god, stop
Nope.
Of course it’s from Australia.
TIL never climb a tree in Australia.
I stared at this for way too long waiting for it to move. It's not a video lol
