Fuck yeah another awesome Australian spider!
Those green ants are tasty too, you can eat the abdomen for a nice citrusy snack.
Nope. Nope. NOPE!
Hahahahaha
Super cool.
Why's the video only in slow motion? Tells us very little. First show full speed, then slow motion, then full speed again (you fucks).
Mosquito: “BZZZZZ ò-ó”
Spider: “GET YEETETH, THINE UNSPEAKABLE PRAY”

How the fuck does evolution begin to explain the process of spiders various techniques.
Some of them make sense.
Trapdoor spiders.
Tarantula.
Huntsman.
Then you got spiders which position themselves on a branch above their target, and slip down a rope Mission Impossible style.
Other spiders curl up into a ball and let the wind carry them to safety if something goes wrong.
And now this shit.
Holy cow! That's both super impressive and interesting and gives me mad heebie jeebies! Thanks for sharing with us. :)
