Mosquito: “BZZZZZ ò-ó”
Spider: “GET YEETETH, THINE UNSPEAKABLE PRAY”
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).
I didn't get any sleep last night so it might just be my wonky brain but isn't "at 140x the force of gravity" an incredibly weird and wrong way to say it? They're talking about G forces, which are specific to earth gravity, so its 140Gs. "140 times the force of gravity" means nothing, it's like saying "it's 100 times heavier than mass".
Get Fulton'd stupid
Bugs will rule the earth eventually
Sadly we have yet to discover their more powerful relative, the Trebuchet Spider
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!
Imagine if spiders were big and human predators. Being launched at mach 100 as you were walking to your car is crazy
Hahahahaha
Super cool.
Holy cow! That's both super impressive and interesting and gives me mad heebie jeebies! Thanks for sharing with us. :)
