Looking for a house to but in NE Tennessee, the realtor took us to one we were interested in. The laundry room had a sump drain in it. Around the drain and pretty much covering the hole were hundreds of what I thought at first were toy rubber spiders. They weren’t toys.
What are you talking about i mean look at that look at all that money grab the big one and sell all those to suckers that love spiders YA YAH big moeny
…I should add that the colours used in this pic aren’t really accurate, and make the spider look scarier than one of these usually would. actually huntsman spiders come in many colours ranging from solid to variegated shades of brown to khaki. I’ve never seen a very dark-coloured or black one like this. the pic looks underexposed, and that’s probably the reason for the spider looking black.
i concur with the 'huntsman' ID. which means its legs could span from 50 to 100mm. for american readers that's between 2 and 4 inches for an adult. most i have seen in houses and under the bark of trees measure about 60 or 70mm; around 2 1/2 inches across.
it's better to live in NZ. i prefer the small but deadly Katipo (red back) to this. i was forced to pause during the writing of this post to check the underside of my desk with a torch thought something moved out of the corner of my eye…just the modem lights blinking…. if i have dreams tonight, i will dream of CRUSHING and VANQUISHING (if all goes as usual)
Thats some scary shizz, like one day i was getting changed, and pulled up my boxers, and was away to put my trousers on and realised there was a spider nest on the front the size of hand! i hate spiders
I’d much, much rather have these giant but harmless huntsman spiders than the relatively small female black widow I killed in my garage last week. Now THAT is scary – especially when you’ve got a toddler running around.
The easiest thing to do in this situation would be release a facehugger into the room. It won't solve the spider problem, but you sure as hell won't be worrying about them any more… y'know, on account of the alien wanting to copulate with your face and lay eggs in your esophagus. see? easy.
Dude this looks like a common Australian huntsman Spider. Hairy but harmless.
BTW people that afraid of spiders make me laugh. A little experience and knowledge goes a long way when dealing with spiders, snakes etc. Identify don't cry!! Then again this is coming from an Australian. Our wildlife rocks it out compared to most countries.
Fuuck me, I had a small spider lay a nest somewhere in my room and little tiny spiders would occasionally come down on a string from the ceiling once… and I thought that was my worst nightmare..
I need more explanation. How the F*CK did you not see that sh!t in your house earlier? And what happened immediately after this photo was taken?
I hate spiders. Get that sh!t outta my face!
they are just lil guys trying to make name for themselves in a world that's bigger than them……Except for that big one.. wait, they will grow up to be that big one……Nuke the bastards.
Jump up n down, screem while jumping up and down, run as fast as I could out into the street get the first person I saw to deal with them…. how I don't care just get rid.
Yeh its a huntsman spider, you get them all the time in the house, they tend not to bite and i dont belive they are dangerous to humans. My old Gf was always trying to smash them up with a news paper or something, but they are good to have around cause they eat all the cockroaches.. but they do get to freakin huge sizes, and they are also prone to dropping on your head/face/lap/bong and are very prone to running down the outside of your car windows..
For someone who has been eaten alive by thousands of baby spiders in a hay loft at a very young age – this is a nightmare……have tried to get help with this phobia but it has failed. I admire people who can look at these creatures with affection….but this is enough to make me ill.
use carb cleaner from an auto store like autozone, I use it on hornets it kills them almost instantly, better than any wasp spray should also work on spiders.
reminds me of my pet spider chomper when i was a child… dad sprayed him again a wall in the garage with silocon spray and smooshed him with a hammer… he's still there a martyr to his fellow spiders (my dad's a pussy and is scared of spiders and he was in the special forces the goon lol)
What if you were up there about to take a picture and it jumped on your face and all the babies started running into every corner of the house. Muhahah. Sleep well my pretties.
Once, I arrived home and there was a wild animal on my bed. It was the scariest day of my life.
I opened the bedroom door and there it was. It was an ugly wild animal. And it was so fast that my naked girlfriend was caught by surprise, while she was sleeping.
You see, the invention of the flamethrower means that someone someday said "I wan't to burn the shit out of those people over there, but I'm too far away to do it"
Your name says it all Jerk Head,,” I can tell by the pixels my ar*e” , get over yourself, you would not be able to tell by the pixels if it was done properly, have you not heard of resampling, and auto interlacing, you sir are a total plank ! There is one like you on every post board trying to make out you are a all seeing expect in the art of photo shopping. I wish planks like you would just accept a post for what it is instead of trying to show off!!!”
Did you stop to think that he was being facetious maybe? You sir, are an idiot. Trying to one up and show off on something that was a joke makes you look like an ass. Congrats!
There are two options in this situation… Flame thrower, or grenade. Because there isn't a can of bug spray in the world, big enough to take on that task.

Wow… You really don't get that he was joking, do you? Here's a tip to save your blood pressure: Whenever someone says "I can tell by the pixels," they aren't being serious. It's a recurring joke on countless forums all over the internet.
Incidentally, "plank" seems like a fun word to use an an insult. I'm going to try it out. You should try Valium.
I'm with Sarah – I love spiders and pretty much all insects, but this pic gives me the chills every time I see it. Maybe it's just imagining the heard-around-the-world shriek my wife would let out at the sight of it.
This is nothing…when my dad was in Vietnam he fell asleep in his Rain Poncho while he was out watching guard post. He woke up with his arm burning and stinging. He pulled his poncho up and his arm looked like that ceiling, covered with babies spiders that had JUST hatched in his poncho. He was rushed to med. with a 104 fever. He spent 4 days in recovery. So yeah, this picture scares the sh** out of me.
Hold on there, Vietnam was the scene of some of the bloodiest, most insane ground battles ever. Young men were slaughtered wholesale on a daily basis to satisfy the blood lust of some politicians and military fanatics. So where is there space in this madness to think someone should be congratulated for surviving a "Creepy encounter with a spider"?
I think we move in different circles me and you Leo.
That's what I'm always afraid of, that some undiscovered spider lays eggs in my room, and then they all come out… And this one seems to be huge… *shiver*
WOW! Ya…I will never sleep soundly again…BUT…I would like to know how these people let it get to this point. I mean if I seen a spider this big in my house, let a lone an egg sack as big as it is, It would have been gone LONG before hatching…
Wow, that is awful I hope thats fake!!
not scared of spiders, and still that creeps me out.
Awwww, Charlotte's babies are so CUTE! Wilber, come look at this miracle of life! Yes… come closer… we like pork!
it's beautiful
How in the world could someone let it get that bad?
i wonder what the rest of the house looks like!
You guys are idiots. No spider in the world is that big. either a shoop or just a toy. Calm down.
Holy F*cking Shyt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG ITS A REAL LIFE MONSTER
OH HELL NO!
Hairspray + Lighter = Problem solved.
deoderant and lighter at the ready!
i would poke it with a stick, that would piss it off.
Looking for a house to but in NE Tennessee, the realtor took us to one we were interested in. The laundry room had a sump drain in it. Around the drain and pretty much covering the hole were hundreds of what I thought at first were toy rubber spiders. They weren’t toys.
No, we didn’t buy the house.
STOP TAKING PICTURES YOUR CRAZY FUCKER AND RUN
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE
fuck that i've give them an eviction notice
THAT WAS SCARY! the little ones loaded first and that was creepy and then A BIG SPIDER
What are you talking about i mean look at that look at all that money grab the big one and sell all those to suckers that love spiders YA YAH big moeny

it's better to live in NZ. i prefer the small but deadly Katipo (red back) to this. i was forced to pause during the writing of this post to check the underside of my desk with a torch
wow -scary…I love it!
HOLY SHIT! I think we need a bigger newspaper..lol
Thats some scary shizz, like one day i was getting changed, and pulled up my boxers, and was away to put my trousers on and realised there was a spider nest on the front the size of hand! i hate spiders
It's her house now.
first words that came out:
hoah-lyy shiiit.
Kill it with ze fire! But after they cleaned your room XD
o… m… g…
O.O GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!
;/ killing an innocent creature isnt right, even if your afraid of it.
i saw this and then when i was reading the comments i felt something on my foot and screamed
Holy crap, that huge one is freaking scary!!! Time to call the exterminator!
fake
holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!
GET THE SHOTGUN
I’d much, much rather have these giant but harmless huntsman spiders than the relatively small female black widow I killed in my garage last week. Now THAT is scary – especially when you’ve got a toddler running around.
FLAME THROWER!!!!
I'd be afraid for my life if I tried to kill that thing and didn't succeed O_O
The easiest thing to do in this situation would be release a facehugger into the room. It won't solve the spider problem, but you sure as hell won't be worrying about them any more… y'know, on account of the alien wanting to copulate with your face and lay eggs in your esophagus. see? easy.
LOL – I just told my kids I took this picture in the closet of their bedroom… I'm so mean!
i don't think you could kill that thing with steel doc martens
Lots of spiders means lots of other bugs.
Breed them and take over your town. Imagine threatening someone with a bunch of those things…it'd work.
Was this part of the 'Arachnophobia: Where they are now' special?
I think I'd have a panic attack if I saw that in my room.
molotove cocktail that sh!t!
omg! is that for real?!O.O!!!
FUCK.
chances are that spider isnt as big as the picture makes it look and those other spiders are probably just minescule
but, there are TONS of them!
If i woke up to that i would crap myself, scream, and then theyd probably fall into my mouth. thanks a lot, im now afraid of spiders
I love spiders!
dam……
Hair spray and a lighter……. Hair spray and a ligher, baby……. That's all I'm loving tonight…….
Dude this looks like a common Australian huntsman Spider. Hairy but harmless.
BTW people that afraid of spiders make me laugh. A little experience and knowledge goes a long way when dealing with spiders, snakes etc. Identify don't cry!! Then again this is coming from an Australian. Our wildlife rocks it out compared to most countries.
why did you scared by spiders , it really nice to saw them in this situation
aerosol can and a lighter problem solved
Fuuck me, I had a small spider lay a nest somewhere in my room and little tiny spiders would occasionally come down on a string from the ceiling once… and I thought that was my worst nightmare..
Mmm.. tastey
i guess they have to be that big to catch the squirrels…
Scary, yes, but living in the New Mexico dessert, you get to the point where you shrug your shoulders when you see something like that.
Time for a lighter and a can of spray
DAAAAAMNNNN. Where's Jeff Daniels and John Goodman when you need them?
Isn't this a pic from that movie Arachnophobia?
honey, where do we keep the flamethrowers?
That's of arachnophobia The movie, good flick but messed up. Damn it Wears john Goodman when you need him
HOLY MOTHERFUCKING SHIT! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
Nuke the site from orbit. it's the only way to be sure.

Burnz-o-matic!!!
Jump up n down, screem while jumping up and down, run as fast as I could out into the street get the first person I saw to deal with them…. how I don't care just get rid.
I would take care of the babies while trying to make more babies with the mother! So I am like a spider step-parent!!
F*ck tht i'd be out of there so fast man.

These are the days you actually need a flamethrower.

Flame thrower, then a plasma gun, then a bige f*c(ing shoe, then the flame again, then the shoe, then call Dan Zimmern to come and eat that sh!t.

Yeh its a huntsman spider, you get them all the time in the house, they tend not to bite and i dont belive they are dangerous to humans.

But She's so cute, all hairy and full of babies..
I would play the Jonas Brothers to them and they'd all commit suicide…
Looks like an Australian Huntsman. I've seen other pics while Stumbling around the web. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparassidae
For someone who has been eaten alive by thousands of baby spiders in a hay loft at a very young age – this is a nightmare……have tried to get help with this phobia but it has failed. I admire people who can look at these creatures with affection….but this is enough to make me ill.
The only thing that has to be done it so BURN those mofos.
i would jut burn the house down
thats worse than holding a frickin' tarantula!!!!!!!
C'mon you wussies…spiders is good eatin'
Oh God… Ew. Just ew.
I <3 spiders =]
Does anyone know what species of spider that is ?
i almost had a fucking panic attack…
use carb cleaner from an auto store like autozone, I use it on hornets it kills them almost instantly, better than any wasp spray should also work on spiders.
I'm dead now! It'll eat humans!
I HATE SPIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this real????????? Okay me scared
This is pretty easily solved by a vacuum with a hose attachment.
reminds me of my pet spider chomper when i was a child… dad sprayed him again a wall in the garage with silocon spray and smooshed him with a hammer… he's still there a martyr to his fellow spiders (my dad's a pussy and is scared of spiders and he was in the special forces the goon lol)
i say move far far away. that thing looks invincible.
That is the the singular most horrifying thing I have ever seen. Thanks for the nightmares.
I counted them….113 babies…..1 Mom
I'd move out but I'd leave a few presents for the spiders…. ACTIVE GRENADES!!!!
aah huge spider!!!! *runs away very quickly*
Thats some Bamboon Tampoon stuff right there!
What if you were up there about to take a picture and it jumped on your face and all the babies started running into every corner of the house. Muhahah. Sleep well my pretties.
i saw one's twice as big in the amazon…they're feakin scary as all hell
Once, I arrived home and there was a wild animal on my bed. It was the scariest day of my life.
I opened the bedroom door and there it was. It was an ugly wild animal. And it was so fast that my naked girlfriend was caught by surprise, while she was sleeping.

Imagine the generation after this, hundreds of those huge fukers with thousands of babies… LOL, i just made someone cry.
Gives me the heebie jeebies just looking at it >.>;;;;;
Torch them suckas!!!
holy f*ck!! what has been seen cannot be unseen you do*che!
KILL IT! KILL IT!
Mother F*cker Holy Sh!t@=!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
HOLY FUCKING SHIT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!
I would vacumn them up at that stage then throw the vacumn in the bin Sharpish !!
i'd throw the vacuum away too
I'd probably burn the vacuum. :3
Yeah, I'd throw it away…but I'd would do it quickly, rather than Sharpish, as I'd rather not cut myself.
There are two options in this situation… Flame thrower, or grenade. Because there isn't a can of bug spray in the world, big enough to take on that task.
lol yeah I was thinking grenade, too.
more specifically the Pest Removal Team from "Family Guy" that comes in with automatics and grenades. Perfect.
Flaming Grenades. Make it happen. NOW.
cannot unsee…
KILL IT WITH FIRE!
^ LOL…I was gonna do that..then say I was kidding of course…
We must obey our spider overlords at all costs.
i want to sex you
nom nom nom
me too!!!!!!
me three!
me four!
me five!
me six!
oh and me too
I'd take a flame thrower to that shit…again and again and again.
‘shopped. I can tell by the pixels.
Had to do it, I am never the first one!!

Wow… You really don't get that he was joking, do you? Here's a tip to save your blood pressure: Whenever someone says "I can tell by the pixels," they aren't being serious. It's a recurring joke on countless forums all over the internet.
Incidentally, "plank" seems like a fun word to use an an insult. I'm going to try it out. You should try Valium.
Haha.. just like youtube all over again =D
I really don't understand how and why people get so stressed ¬¬
Ohh well, The D owned andyyy =D
Andy's post here was shopped.I can tell by the douchey words that it can not be real.
Shit. that was frightening. I may never sleep again.
And sir who says he'd force the spiders to clean, you are awesome.
i love spiders they are one of my favourite animals…. but that's a bit much.
Animals? Haha…..
Are you retarded?
are you in allegiance with them?
I'm with Sarah – I love spiders and pretty much all insects, but this pic gives me the chills every time I see it. Maybe it's just imagining the heard-around-the-world shriek my wife would let out at the sight of it.
This is nothing…when my dad was in Vietnam he fell asleep in his Rain Poncho while he was out watching guard post. He woke up with his arm burning and stinging. He pulled his poncho up and his arm looked like that ceiling, covered with babies spiders that had JUST hatched in his poncho. He was rushed to med. with a 104 fever. He spent 4 days in recovery. So yeah, this picture scares the sh** out of me.
ok, but still, it's a mean spider – c'mon…
Props to your father for surviving probably one of the creepiest encounters with spiders back in 'Nam.
Hold on there, Vietnam was the scene of some of the bloodiest, most insane ground battles ever. Young men were slaughtered wholesale on a daily basis to satisfy the blood lust of some politicians and military fanatics. So where is there space in this madness to think someone should be congratulated for surviving a "Creepy encounter with a spider"?
I think we move in different circles me and you Leo.
You can't start out with "This is nothing…." and end with "So yeah* this picture scares the sh** out of me" because you are contradicting yourself.
Thank you, Alotta.
I was thinking the same thing.
Jeremy, this is not 'Nam. This is teh Internets. There are rules.
your dad is pretty crap at "watching guard post" if he feel asleep
Thats what you get for falling asleep on watch.
I killed one in the house about a week ago. I did not see the babies. Now they are e v e r y w h e r e!!!!!!
I would train them to clean my things
That's what I'm always afraid of, that some undiscovered spider lays eggs in my room, and then they all come out… And this one seems to be huge… *shiver*
MomMomMOMMomMomMOMMomMomMOMMomMomMOMMomMomMOMMomMomMOMMomMomMOMMomMomMOMMomMomMOMMomMomMOMMomMomMOMMomMomMOMMomMomMOMMomMomMOMMomMomMOMMomMomMOMMomMomMOMMomMomMOM
so funny!
To Funny!!
Awesome! Why the hate?
Time for Wilsons 'One Shot'…aka 'Spiderban'. Might take more than one shot!! O.o
EEK!!!
Freaked me out. I don't know of a shoe in the world big enough to handle that job.
It would have to be the shoe belonging to that "Tallest Man in China/The World". I'd still rather use a shovel though…
i like to use a vacuum, but that would clog the hose. probably causing it to die and stink up my house.
I hate spiders!!! I jumped when the picture loaded. SCARY!!!
HOLY CRAP!!!!!
NOOO WAY! OMG I would freak out soooo bad.
Ok. I'll never sleep again. Thanks.
Fight or flight? Flight for me please, I'm outta here!!
WOW! Ya…I will never sleep soundly again…BUT…I would like to know how these people let it get to this point. I mean if I seen a spider this big in my house, let a lone an egg sack as big as it is, It would have been gone LONG before hatching…
I second that motion. Whenever I lay down I'll be looking in the corners of the ceiling
