Gigantic Spider Gobbles Bird in Front of Camera [PICS]

environmentalgraffiti.com — This is a series of photos to make even the most ardent of arachnophiles or the most bullish of bird bashers squirm in their seats, wincing at the image of that poor little tweety pie getting eaten by that beastly looking spider.

  • ManUnitdFan, on 07/21/2009, -1/+344Every November, when it starts to get bitch-ass cold in Wisconsin, I ask myself why I don't live somewhere tropical.

    And then I see pictures like that, and my urge goes away.
  • cnot3, on 07/21/2009, -3/+161I know that it was pretty controversial when Bush said that humans and fish can coexist peacefully, but I think that regardless of your political ideology, we can all agree that something has to be done about spiders.

  • Recluse84, on 07/21/2009, -0/+101This is the reason all Australians must have gigantic balls. If that ***** was living in my backyard, id go out in full body armor to do battle with it.
  • KrisStrong, on 07/21/2009, -16/+112Pics or it didn't happen...wait

    It did happen...A YEAR AGO!!!!!
  • MrFisty, on 07/21/2009, -1/+96Come to Australia, where man is at the bottom of the food chain.
  • pixelguru, on 07/21/2009, -5/+88Kill it with *lots* of fire.
  • blindhammer, on 07/21/2009, -5/+69Damn nature, you scary.
  • lachlancrawford, on 07/21/2009, -1/+61i rode my bike through one when i was 12. that spider you see in the pic ended up on my face (well my hair). talk about ***** yourself.
  • Chordonblue, on 07/21/2009, -6/+60If this isn't a new Internet meme, it should be. :)
  • purkel, on 07/21/2009, -0/+52Damn... I'd hate to accidently walk into a golden orb spider web and find that gigantic spider crawling on me. Now Im all paranoid about spiders under my desk.
  • ankhen, on 07/21/2009, -1/+51***** that spider. i think if i saw one of those things i'd ***** my pants for the second time this week
  • RoroCo, on 07/21/2009, -3/+49I think I would still take the spiders over a winter in Wisconsin. You could lose a nut just by forgetting to zip up.
  • uknowwhoibe, on 07/21/2009, -7/+52Old, but still cool.
  • woofers07, on 07/21/2009, -1/+44Don't wanna click. Don't wanna click. Don't wanna click.
  • burRIDERton, on 07/22/2009, -1/+43One of the few Billy Mays phrases i truly enjoyed
  • CJDarkhaven, on 07/21/2009, -3/+44This is nature. And from what I hear, it's scary...
  • womweasel, on 07/21/2009, -0/+38I have nothing against photos, but video would have been sweet. For this sight, I would have run to my neighbors to borrow a video camera if I didn't own one.
  • Jones82, on 07/22/2009, -0/+33that's what she said
  • Gareth321, on 07/22/2009, -1/+32I'd rather be attacked by a lion and a shark at the same time =/
  • Neworab, on 07/21/2009, -0/+31A challenge? I accept.
  • Gareth321, on 07/22/2009, -0/+29I dunno. What's it like to be an *****, disliked by even strangers on the internet?
  • inactive, on 07/22/2009, -0/+28I doubt the spider enjoyed it either.
  • wondertwins, on 07/22/2009, -1/+29That is ***** HUGE! If I saw one of those things, I would run toward the opposite direction as fast as possible.
  • Thrustmaster, on 07/21/2009, -3/+30*****. THAT. *****.
  • URnotheonly1, on 07/21/2009, -1/+27***** IT KEEPS REACHING OUT FROM UNDER MY DESK AND TOUCHING MY FOOT!!! Why did I have to wear flipflops to work today?
  • staystilljason, on 07/21/2009, -3/+28IT'S THE CIRCLE OF LIIIIIIIIIIIFE ♪♫
  • mmmcocoapuffs, on 07/22/2009, -0/+22Thanks Ollie.
  • ElAmo, on 07/21/2009, -1/+21dugg for usage of bitch-ass
  • BoneheadFarker, on 07/21/2009, -1/+21Hate to tell you, but spiders can take the cold. Black widows, brown recluses, wood spiders, fishing spiders...all either poisonous or just plain ***** ugly, and all can be found in cold climates. They get smaller the further north you go though, so that's a bit of a bonus.

    Here's a list of common spiders found in Wisconsin.

    http://www.geospecies.org/

    You should be proud of the fact there's a dedicated website for the spiders of Wisconsin...
  • Linake, on 07/21/2009, -0/+19Holy crap! I'm so glad I live where I do... no giant spiders, no killer snakes -- just bears, wolves, lynx and moose. I can live with that! At least I can see them before they attack me.
  • Soytaco, on 07/21/2009, -0/+17I'm very thankful that after years of evolution, spiders are as small as they are.
  • Coottie, on 07/21/2009, -2/+19RRRRAAAAAIIIIIDDDDDDD
  • inactive, on 07/21/2009, -2/+18While I agree that spiders are a valuable part of the ecosystem, I live in a hilly, wooded area and kill 1-3 spiders in my house a day, usually wolf, weavers, widows. I sometimes wonder what my house would look like if I didn't...
  • cnot3, on 07/21/2009, -1/+17Actually, the worst thing about spiders is that you never hear them strike. The second worst thing is that they are all extremely racist.
  • BaphClass, on 07/22/2009, -3/+18Oh please. It gets much colder up here in Canada. Ever been to Churchill in the middle of January? If you're not wearing a thick-as-***** fur-lined parka, strapping on snow-goggles, and packing some serious heat, you're gonna find yourself suffering from severe frostbite, snow-blindness, and being eaten by a goddamn polar bear.

    I ***** hate it up here.
  • inactive, on 07/22/2009, -0/+14HE JUST DID!
  • jayvisaria, on 07/22/2009, -0/+14Shelob left Mordor to retire in Australia
  • sanman, on 07/22/2009, -0/+13smaller just makes it easier for them to sneak up on you
  • doshindude, on 07/21/2009, -0/+13THIS, IS, NATURE! *punt*
  • Gorkov, on 07/21/2009, -0/+13I wasn't sure how big the spider actually was, so I looked up the bird it's eating. They are roughly 4" in length, so the spider must be the size of your hand. Creepy, but apparently their venom isn't deadly. I'm much more afraid of a brown recluse.
  • hardon88, on 07/22/2009, -0/+13So uh...why did you ***** yourself the first time this week?
  • SkippyDoorknob, on 07/22/2009, -1/+13DON'T!!!
  • Merendino, on 07/22/2009, -0/+12I love how the opposite direction is an actual tangible thing in your statement, and not just an idea.
  • NomortaL1, on 07/22/2009, -0/+11i laughed at your comment with my mouth!
  • illepic, on 07/21/2009, -0/+11I'm going to throw the ***** up.
  • consoneo, on 07/22/2009, -0/+11I just got the jibblies thinking about that!
  • sanman, on 07/22/2009, -1/+11don't worry, Global Warming is coming

    and so are those spiders - to a neighborhood near you
