Attack of the Giant Spider!
Attack of the Giant Spider!
The largest spider I ever saw in person was the picture here of the spider I took. This 8-legged scary as shit spider reminded me of the 1990 film Arachnophobia. Leg-tip to leg-tip it spanned longer than both my hands together forming a shape of a spider.
What’s worse is it was in the room I was sleeping in far out in the middle of nowhere in the farmlands of Guangxi Province, China. They still make the walls out of plaster of homes out there. When I went into my room the one night to do emails, this little bugger was noticeable. It moved fast. I thought centipedes and millipedes moved fast, but not as fast as this guy.
I figured a spider this size would have some form of intelligence being as its head was bigger than a Toonie (Canadian $2 coin). When I grabbed a stick, and attempted to skewer it, it showed signs of a well experience combatant.
The spider was so large, I could see each one of its eyes in detail from 20 feet away. Wherever I moved, it’s eyes followed, when I got close, it moved. Whenever I tried to poke it with a stick, it dodged. 5-6 times I tried, and 5-6 times it ‘strafed’ – like a video game.
Eventually It left, under the door crack and scurried away out the back door into the pitch-black night. I didn’t sleep that night. I put sheets around the door cracks and windows and I ran out of sheets.
My advice to anyone going to China, who finds themselves in the country, beware the giant spiders.
Thanks for reading!
