Giant Queensland spider devours snake

Quote:
It's the stuff nightmares are made of — a giant spider slowly killing a snake snared in its web.

Cairns man Ant Hadleigh filmed this creepy encounter in a friend's backyard on Wednesday.

He told ninemsn he spotted the brown tree snake snared in the golden orb spider's enormous web.

"The snake was probably a few feet long and the spider about the size of your hand," Mr Hadleigh said.
Quote:
The backyard battle lasted several hours before the snake finally succumbed to the spider's deadly venom, he said.

"The snake kept on trying to reach up and attack the spider and every time the spider would just run up to the top of the web."

"You could see the spider just chewing into the snake and the part the spider was eating had gone all black. It was pretty disgusting."

As one who has an insane fear of spiders... this is about the only reaction pic that works.

I swear, between this and this Australians can't even walk out to get the paper without running into something like this:

I shall train them to smite my enemies. For I am CABAL, lord of the spiders!

That's pretty awesome.

So's this giant centipede:

Australians are pretty badass to live in Australia.

I know you're joking but this statement is basically correct. There's a species of spider called white tips, and they're basically everywhere where I live, and their bite can kill you pretty much immediately.

Always relevant to these discussions:

This one actually irked me a little bit. Mostly the "wound turning black and bubbling" within the hour of the fight.

My point to the hippies is that at least most human hunters have the decency to just shoot their prey instead of pulling out crap like flesh-bubbling venom and the few that go for the latter are generally despised. Spiders just straight up don't give a shit about their kills.

No, they just don't have proper mouths so they have to digest their kills externally.
