BIG Spider Does Something Unexpected!  

First, wow. I am in my fourties and I don't know the first thing about coding, impressive. Secondly, wow. When I was 14 or even just a couple years ago, I am pretty sure I would have just passed out or shot through the roof like a rocket. Big spider or any spider would scare the crap out of me for sure , lol. Even now, I would likely be very startled to find it was a spider lol. I love the story, great one and thank you!

@@chrisegnoto Even better story for ya. This one is straight up nightmare fuel. Im 42. Same house. I had kids now so we took the house over when my parents moved. They owned the home. Anyways, my at the time 3 year old son came bursting out the tub nakey and jumped on the couch waiting for mom to dress him. At the same time my wife yells for me as their is a HAND SIZED huntsman spider running up the wall on the other side of the living room. [near that back door lol] So, i come in and grab the broom and was planning to squash it. Everyone is piled into the kitchen except my 3 year old son still sitting on the couch all nakey n stuff. Just watching me. Im far away on the other side so all was fine. I take the broom and i smack it on the spider. The brushes of the broom hit it so it actually didnt kill or injure the spider. Just pressed him against the wall. I notice this and decide to SMUDGE him across the wall. Hoping that it will be enough to have the brushes of the broom at least injure it so it doesnt run away. Well....this is where all hell breaks lose. I pressed SUPER hard as i swiped the broom across the wall. My logic was i needed to in order for enough bresure of the soft brushes to do anything to the spider. Well, because i was pressing so hard, when i swiped i ended up slipping forward enough that it shot the spider across the living room and RIGHT BETWEEN MY SONS LEGS. As soon as it landed on his downstairs mixup......we all froze. My son slowly looks down and screams. The spider leaped into the air. Over and over trying to get away. My son just sees his weewee with a hand sized huntsman bouncing between his legs like it was on a trampoline. I was on the other side in front of son so it was jumping away from me. It couldnt get a grip on my sons wet skin so it ended up jumping in place. I just remember him screaming while hold still and i see eight legs 3 times go up in the air. Eventually it leaped off him and on the floor. Needless to say it scared him severly. Thankfully he was young. 13 now and we never told him that story.

​@@AppNasty poor kiddo :( is he arachnophobic now?

@@AppNasty Are you in australia? If you are there is definitely alot worse spiders than huntsman spiders and wolf spiders.. There's also worse in brazil where both these species of spiders are also located... Cool stories though, that does sound pretty terrifying to happen to a 3 year old lol..

@@AppNastySir, where do you live… so I know where NOT to visit??

I know it was me they paid me 1 penny 😔

Mothod Actor 😁

For sure..so scripted. You could even tell because dude didn't even sound THAT surprised smh 😂

the Moth, "It's not true! it's bullsht! I did Not Hit Her. I Did Not- Oh Hi Mark" Mark the spider *crunch

Like brandon lee

I guess it was, wasn't it? lol

@@chrisegnoto he needs to eat too!

​@@chrisegnotofemales with 🥚 sack are aggressive don't piss her off.

​@@seedless-bud I think that spider might be female.

Goober eats

Door Dash!!🦋🕷️😅

Not to mention that satchel of babies it was carrying 😮

Not symbiotic for the moth though.

@@jlbistc7 lol

Yeah, he really shouldn't feel bad about giving a single mother of hundreds a few meal

@@gregsurles4199 Well thats the difference between people like him and people like you.

@@willz0452 what

​@willz0452 was that really necessary?

Lmao😂😂

Thank you. That's pretty cool. I have found some amazing animals over the years, and consider myself very fortunate to have such encounters with life other than my own!

Sometimes spider don’t really see us “as us” but we are just more ground they can walk on

Do spiders really possess the cognitive abilities to recognize humans as living beings tho ?

@@Vegadorowell they do bite sometimes so they must. I don’t think they would bite something that wasn’t a living threat.

@@keithsavoie6943 Isn't that if pressure is applied and they're stressed? I mean press down on their back and put a stick infront of them and they will bite it.

Lol, she does. I so need to make a small one of those - lol!

haha love it

Gas, grass, or ass 😂

​@chrisegnoto If you made bumper stickers in the shape of a spider carrying an egg sack saying "babies on board" I would unironically learn how to drive and start a family just to get one.

Yes that's the rules

Including her children

Wish it worked that way. I got some tarantulas that hate my guts still

​@@balisongman07 stop rattling the cage at night. Maybe they might like you. Hang on that's something I would do.

Jumpers are like the cats of the spider world while wolf spiders are like the dogs

​@@normalhuman9878I dont understand that

@@schnabelnugget1066 two of the most friendliest spiders and most intelligent, that you can somewhat train even. that and cats and dogs are the most domesticated animals and most friendliest to us

Baby tarantula are ridiculously adorable too 😊

Personally velvet spiders are 2nd, but wolf spiders are a very close 3rd

LOLS! Yeah, my luck is...kind of unique. Great luck with survival and encounters, not so great in every day life, not even kidding! lol. At this point, I have reached level 48...

@@chrisegnoto Just gotta turn survival encounters into life and you're golden ;)

Don't forget to level up

Thank you, that does make me feel better :)

@@chrisegnoto the circle of life : don’t feel bad - obviously the spider has a lot of young lings to care for. And the fact that the Moths husband is probably sitting home wondering where his wife is - that’s never coming back no one to feed the children he’s not sure whether to leave home himself to get the food or will they all just starve. Goodness me don’t feel guilty😂 I am just kidding🎉 it is just nature flashlight or no flashlight

Babies need to eat to

@@malcolmwhite6588 Incorrect. A flashlight is not a part of the natural lifecycle which is why he said he felt bad. Difference between people like him and you is he will feel bad because he knows that may not have happened. It is nature but it is not natural how it occured.

@@willz0452😅😂😂

If you find a small one and raise him or her, it would be a nice pet. As for the video, I was pretty darn lucky, tbh

@@chrisegnoto sometimes luck is the best thing to have while filming.

The moth was going towards the light. Must have didn't see the giant spider 😂

Yeah, not going to lie, I kind of wish it had.....just out of curiousity

Like a hard pinch don’t last long they r so sharp! Scares u more then it hurts they r so sharp

What if he got bit - and turned into a werewolf spider.

@@chrisegnoto They hurt. They have some large fangs. I'd say just make sure you clean the wound well if it does happen, because unless you're allergic, the most you'll usually get out of it is some localized swelling and itching, and possibly a secondary infection from bacteria on or around the chelicerae.

🤣

Let us just say that she loves crickets!

Mutualization

Me: "Holy crap!" "sorry moth"

I've found the fear of spiders to be completely irrational. I'd say people should be more afraid of flies and mosquitoes. Spiders have never attacked me, bothered me. They've never landed on my head or ran over me unless by pure chance. And if they're sitting quietly, they usually remain that way unless something or someone disturbs them. Not the most social animals out there but hey, they're actually very calm and collected animals.

Keep cellar spiders. They're absolutely lethal to other spiders and completely harmless to humans. They'll take out the trash for you if you let them. They'll tuck away in a corner with some dusty webs and handle business

​​@@resonanceofambition That's exactly what a phobia is, an irrational fear. Honestly, that's what makes it harder for me to get over my fear. I respect then, and I do hate and fear insects that you mentioned as well, but I just get a visceral reaction to anything crawling on me, but I'd hate to kill a spider. I know if one crawled on me, my first instinct would be to swipe it quickly before stopping myself hesitantly, which would likely prompt it to want to bite with the initial panicked movement. Edit: Spiders and house centipedes have crawled on me before as well, even though they're supposed to stay away from humans as much as possible, which doesn't help my fear.

​@@masterjunko you're right about phobias...had dolomedes (frikken giant fishing spiders, my buddies around here are close to 4" leg span) make me make embarrassing noises and even tho I know better, I'd really rather not hold them or have them near me without warning haha. House centipedes have too many legs and are too fast, they also freak me out. That being said, I love and respect them both and never harm them intentionally. But lemme tell ya, having one cross a book I'm reading at midnight is key to an out-of-body experience. As in, I'm out, my body's on it's own

Don’t worry, they will not hurt a fly! *A moth comes at striking distance* Never mind

Yeah, I don't like killing for no good reason. Especially when trying to film something. This wasn't the first time, nor the last, lol

Lol, I agree. You should see my Jumping spider videos, omg!

Not what I’d call adorable, but to each their own.

Yeah, I really love the Jumping Spiders

@@bigslimm7 were I not so afraid of them, my fave would be a cute-as-hell jumping spider.

Okay, that made me smile. Thanks :)

Carolinesnsis Lycosa

Thank you, you should see these spiders hunt. They are wicked fast!

Done deal

Thank you so much. I really do have a lucky experience with wildlife. Just that night alone, I had 3 amazing moments. Thank you

good call on that. You are quite possibly onto something

Thank you. I was pretty fortunate!

Hey. Thanks so much. I have always been lucky with other living things. I imagine how I was raised and grew up plays a role. And the austism and the way I notice so many little cues and nuances, idk then again, strangers and animals tend to approach me all the time, lol.

Yep, been desperate for dinner and a date, so.....I broadened my horizons - lol

Yes, I was just teaching about that. Some species like the false widow, the males look like they are wearing boxing gloves!

I’m actually a huge arachnophobe, but it doesn’t stop me from thinking spiders are cool

@@chrisegnotoAnd Size too. Females in the Spider World are BBWs. Big Boned. Males are significantly smaller and have longer legs.

Exactly. You might like some of my playlists. I cover things like that and more. I always make sure to include things for those who want to know some of the more unique info, also

oooor, and hear me out now, maybe we could more easily tell by the giant egg sac shes carrying around. lol jk i love it when people help educate others i'm just being snarky.

Yes the white ball is indeed an egg sac once they hatch the little spiders will piggy back on her for some time until they grow up to fend for themselves

yeah wolf spiders are very consumate mothers. they take care of their kids for a while

Jumping spiders are way cuter though. I love all 🕷️

Maybe you just give off scary vibes...

Maybe they just hate your chemical trace.

They are predators, after all. And probably (most certainly) good mothers, so it's reasonable if they feel threatened

Wolf spiders really aren't aggressive unless intensely provoked. Like most spiders they're as afraid of you as you are of them. I live in an area that has the Carolina wolf spider and others that look similar, get a bit bigger and are aggressive.

They can he territorial if you go near their egg sack and they think you are a threat. But like they won't go out of their way to bite you

No, thank YOU for giving me the moment to share my love for the things I experience and appreciate!

Well I was afraid of spiders too, untill RU-vid suggested ne a video labled Orange bitey thing. Ir gave me a jumpscare but somehow I got interested in spiders. Meanwhile I want not just one but 2 tarantulas, the brazillin Black and mexican red knee. Look up tarantula happy dance, that's absolutely cute 😅

Thanks, and yes, I would LOVE to! Maybe some day...

Yes, mutated fallout looking spiders.

Good day mate. I love to go to 🇦🇺 it's my 2nd favorite country. Deadliest too. I love 🕷️ but I don't fuck with deadliest 3 on 🌍. Tied a #2 Sydney funnel 🕸 🕷️ and Phoneutria Brazilian wandering 🕷️. #1 deadliest most venomous 🕷️ on 🌍 Is Sicarius 6 👀 sand 🕷️ no antivenom yet. But fangs are small and only found in middle eastern and African 🏜. No normal 🇺🇸 citizen is going to the middle east or northern Africa. And odds of finding 1 is extremely remote.

She is. You should see the other Carolina Wolf Spiders I have filmed. Bright Gray with yellow faces. I think they are in my Spiders of New Jersey Videos

In west virginia our spiders are either small, or the size of a pizza, no inbetween

New River Gorge has spiders that swim downriver in groups numbering in the hundreds of thousands. They almost look like a weird black moss until they drop in and you're surrounded by a whole fkn net of creepy water spiders. Arachnophobes beware

The fact that you appreciate that it was cool, is a good sign. Thanks for commenting :)

Yes, thanks

Fuck that moth lol

Yeah, moths like lamps, maybe it died happy :/

The was. So mild mannered and calm, which was why I was able to try holding her

The Salticids are where it's at - lol
