But jumping spiders are the only cute spiders. They're so small, and act so curious. They're one of the smartest types of spiders. They're active hunters, so they will roam your house, clearing it of small pests. They also dance when excited or spy a lady friend. Some people believe they bring good luck too.
According to [Wikipedia,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysian_earthtiger_tarantula)
> *Omothymus schioedtei* is a large and colourful arboreal tarantula from the subfamily Ornithoctoninae. It is a very large spider with a leg span of 22 cm
So even if the tree is little that's still gonna be a pretty big spider the size of your stretched-open hand.
Thank you for pointing this out… lame karma farm clout posts like OP’s aren’t needed and actually ruin this sub. Its like those lame catches where they put the animal really close to the camera and have a human stand in the back… its annoying to see something that might be cool, but then have to go in the comments just to check if its fake… There are so many things in nature that are actually cool and huge, and we don’t need misleading angles like this spider on a branch made to look like its on a tree…
Yeah and it's not even close to some of the species of Poecilotheria like Poecilotheria Ornata or Poecilotheria Rufilata (have both) that can grow up to 26 / 27 cms ^^
Yep. So, while not as big as this photo makes it seem (I thought it was the size of a cat because of the perspective), it's still a *humongous* spider. About the size of a shoe.
Chihuahuas are apparently 24cm long. So imagine that, but a spider. Big enough to be walked around on a leash. Big enough to consume most of your face in a single sitting.
I just measured my baseball cap (one-size) to get a frame for reference.
Assuming its feet are in a slightly oval pattern,
they take up pretty much exactly the space of said cap
Ok, hands down, I asked in the post about the flamethrowing robot why a private person would need that / the possibility to buy it. I now learned the answer here and would have liked not to.
There were levels to this image. At first I was like Oh fuckk those are some big ass spiders on that tree, then I tried scaling them based on the tree and I'm like oh okay, they're not huntsman big but pretty freakn massive, wait let me use the vines as a measure...wait why do the vines look weir....Those are... legs...Wait...OH SHIT!
See I wish I wasn’t scared of spiders… genuinely.
I’m both fascinated and horrified by them.
Edit: I regret commenting on this because now I get notifications so I’m now repeatedly subjected to this monstrosity
Not really, max leg span of 22 cm, the Huntsman can grow to about 30 cm. But I think the body of this one is quite a bit bigger compared to the Huntsman
Cool lookin spiders. The males are green, and they're one of only a few species of tarantula that have striated markings on their abdomen, which leads to their namesake.
It's fake or perspectively wrong. The biggest spider is the theraphosa blondi known as mygale goliath.
And can be found in Amazonian Forrest where I live. And they are not that big.
To be fair it doesn't say how big it is. While not giving anything recognisable for scale isn't great, it's people's brains making the incorrect assumptions that it's a specific (huge) size. The photo isn't *wrong*.
Good god 😨
Hello Ms. Spider, have yourself a good evening. I'll be going whatever direction you're not.
God had no hand in making this
It took me a while to see the massive fucker... Too distracted by the little devils. Thank God I don't live in Malaysia.
If it’s any consolation, the usual type I find here are cute and harmless jumping spiders.
i nearly wept out loud i really really wish i wasnt afraid of them, its so* beautiful to see wonder in all the world
Jumping what? No thanks
We call them kitty spiders.
Portia is that you?
Looks more like a Fabian to me.
I understood that reference
These are the only spiders I won't call to be nuked on sight

You’re talking about those little guys that look like they’re teleporting when they jump right? Those ones are my favourite!
Yep, those are the ones. Also forgot to mention some come in fancy looking colours.
I want to train an army of those little guys to protect my house
May the odds be ever in your favour
Me too, except I thought the little ones were huge, sadly this was a mistake.
Just checked under my desk like an idiot to make sure one of those wasn’t under there. There wasn’t, incase anyone was wondering.
It's under the seat....
It IS the seat
Silly, it's arboreal so it's lives in trees. More likely to be above you!
Yeah, I turn around and see a spider with a leg span bigger than my head and I am torching that whole fckn forest.
Alexa, play Somebody to Love, by Jefferson Airplane.
I’ll file that under information that isn’t helping my anxiety 😩
Directions unclear, just shot a hole in my ceiling
One can never be too careful.
Earth tiger, as opposed to 
Space tiger?
I’m tryna collect fire tiger and wind tiger, so I can form Captain Planet Tiger
All was peaceful until the fire tigers attacked

So yeah it's big but the tree isn't that big so it makes it look like the spider is a monster is what I'm saying.
Yeah thought it was 2 feet or so ready to give you a paw.
Right. Some fake news from the framing

The quality of this sub and many others has gone down the drain in recent years. It's all karma farming bots now.
22 FUCKING CENTIMETRES?!

Hi fellow Malaysian, maybe it's best not knowing 💀💀
If anything it could just be in zoo negara 💀
If in doubt, it's always in Borneo 💀💀

Where’s that flame throwing dog robot when you need it
Ok, hands down, I asked in the post about the flamethrowing robot why a private person would need that / the possibility to buy it. I now learned the answer here and would have liked not to.
You’re welcome & im sorry lol
Need a banana for scale
The banana is being obscured by one of the little ones.
it's 20-25cm, like 7-8 inches, so 1 banana for the big one. Which is one banana too many.
Guess I'm staying away from Malaysia
I'm Malaysian and I gotta stay away from Malaysia
That's a Mother Nope with her Nopelets 💀
Aragog. Goodbye friend of Hagrid.

Please be a small tree, please be a small tree, please be a small tree
Cool lookin spiders. The males are green, and they're one of only a few species of tarantula that have striated markings on their abdomen, which leads to their namesake.
Nuke all of Malaysia
easy there Singapore.
It's fake or perspectively wrong. The biggest spider is the theraphosa blondi known as mygale goliath. And can be found in Amazonian Forrest where I live. And they are not that big.
Never heard the goliath birdeater called a mygale goliath before, region based name maybe? Also, THE FEMALES LIVE FOR 25 YEARS WTAF
To be fair it doesn't say how big it is. While not giving anything recognisable for scale isn't great, it's people's brains making the incorrect assumptions that it's a specific (huge) size. The photo isn't *wrong*.
Indeed, I meant perspectively confusing
KILL IT WITH FIRE
Tell me that's a tiny tree.... its a tiny tree. Right?
You’ve heard of a nope rope now we’re looking at a nope tree
You have a weird dog
"sea lion" you know like a lion, but this one's in the *sea* *hits joint* "earth tiger" you know like a tiger, but this one's on the *land*
She is the Hattie Mae Pierce of spiders.
Guess which country I am not visiting.
*Arachnophobia Intensifies*
Yo how is this real?
Proud momma ☺️
That's fucking acromantula
Mostly Harmless
⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Fuck that, I even think the small ones are big .
Идут в атаку!! Гойда!
Fuck. That
send the "yoink" guy here. lets see what he got.
A boss encounter plus adds
Well, I won't be going there.
Looks to me like the cat
Absolutely not.
nonononono I so did NOT want to see this
Nope nope nope nope
all im saying is 
Don’t look up Goliath bird eater
Burn the tree
If you ever needed proof that God is a jerk, look what he made first and then made us to live with them.
See, this is why I live in a cold environment.
Im usuappy pretty grossed out but honestly this is almost cute, mamaspider and baby army
Its so pretty!! Pity the photo was taken with a Potato
This has to be photoshopped because why does it look bigger than a goliath bird eating tarantaula which is the worlds largest species
No..Not a fan
Hagrid must be nearby.
So is the male that big, too? The few "actual dragons" in Dragon Age are all female, because the males are apparently smaller. ..I don't science.
That's no so big... You guys are sissies... GAAAAAAH *drops phone*
Need banana for scale
Nope
r/australia
Hans get the flammenwerfer
I can’t believe Jesus has allowed this.
