Oh my god. It has fur.

 

[Randy Monk]

Wondrous discovery. I want it on my face so it can whisper to me all of its secrets.

I've used that pick up line before

 

[Twilight Princess]

Possible nuke area?

 

[abstract alien]

A baseball is such an odd unit of comparison for something such as a spider.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

A baseball is such an odd unit of comparison for something such as a spider.

The article I linked to earlier that compared it to a softball also used "saucer-sized" in its headline.

I wonder if something like "apple" would have worked better.

 

[Mr Swine]

It looks really really adorable :3

 

[Elandyll]

Now that it's discovered, let's find a way to kill all of them.

Us: You're going out there to destroy them, right? Not to study. Not to bring back, but to wipe them out?
Entomologist: That's the plan.

.


Conclusion: never trust an Entomologist

 

[MIMIC]

Kill it with the hottest fire.

 

[antonz]

Just Remember the recent study

Study: Spiders theoretically could eat every human on Earth in one year

 

[highrider]

Really impressive looking creature.

 

[shaowebb]

<3
I wanna put a leash on it and take it for walkies...um...crawlies...climbies?

 

[triplestation]

a new dawn is here

 

[Byakuya769]

Where's the baseball? Probably exaggerating.

Scientists lying and makin me pissed.

 

[CTLance]

Dem legs. Probably a nightmare for anyone wanting that spider as a pet. Moulting must be pretty damn dangerous with those comparatively thin appendages.

Seriously though. Nice to see we're still finding new species in old places. Goes to show just how ignorant we still are about our surroundings.

Also, happy to notice that the kill it with fire comments are not in the majority. There's hope yet.

 

[Envelope]

it's cute :3

 

[Zero-ELEC]

Surprisingly cute spider! Also, isn't Cacachilas in Baja California Sur? That's a different state, people!

 

[Phrozenflame500]

Is it weird that the bigger the spider the less intimidated I am by it?

 

[Shadax the wizard]

Absolutely beautiful.

 

[Syriel]

Are we sure this is a new spider and not just one that decided to hop a plane from Aus to NA?

 

[Contica]

Wow, that's beautiful!

I will never understand why people are so afraid of spiders.

 

[woopWOOP]

It's cute

It's weird, I have arachnophobia and the images of the whole thing send shivers down my spine

but that close-up shot of its face is pretty adorable

 

[John Kowalski]

Lmao her butt is a kiwi

 

[ChrisRT]

They're walking around in that cave with no type of protection and no where to run. Speechless.

 

[LurkerPrime]

I need a baseball beside it for comparison, stat. I really don't want to visualise this kind of thing myself...

Dammit, too late.

Just Remember the recent study

What kind of study is this?!

 

[Wag]

[100%TrophyMaster]

Nuke them ALL

 

[Spine_Ripper]

I near damn shat myself when I read "San Diego"

IT'S IN MY HOUSE

 

[Insane Metal]

Beautiful. But their cousins back here in Brazil are cuter.

Spoiler

And deadlier

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

For some reason I read that as the size of a baseball bat and I froze. But any way, fuck all of that "it's cute" nonsense. It's terrifying, end of discussion.

 

[Thebeardofknowledge]

 

[ironcreed]

This is perfect. My sentiments exactly.

 

[UtterlyPerplexed]

Your slight, unexpected cuteness doesn't fool me, wicked beast.

 

[You Are Viewtiful]

Looks ugly and disgusting.

 

[Joqu]

I like it. The bite not being all that bad does help...

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

COOL!

 

[xkramz]

Ahhh I love it i want it as a pet!!!! Man I know it's hairy body feels soft and cuddly

 

[Reversed]

Scary long legs

Funny kiwi lookalike bum.

 

[Jaeger]

Beautiful. Spiders are magnificent.

 

[Monochromaticx]

Yup, that's a spider

 

[EVO]

Wait, so how big is it actually? Is the entire thing as big as a baseball? Or just the body?

Either way, fuck that spider and especially fuck that cave. Place is the stuff of nightmares, and dudes are walking through there in shorts.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

There is no god

 

[v1lla21]

Get yo wannabe krillin ass outta here my dude.

 

[Jaeger]

Wait, so how big is it actually? Is the entire thing as big as a baseball? Or just the body?

Either way, fuck that spider and especially fuck that cave. Place is the stuff of nightmares, and dudes are walking through there in shorts.

These kinds of reactions are hilarious to me.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Do spiders like being stroked? Do all animals like it?

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Spiders are the best.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Beautiful. But their cousins back here in Brazil are cuter.

Spoiler

And deadlier

Why does it have a vagina for a mouth?

 

[Imperfected]

I would watch baseball if they were throwing these at the batters.

 

[StoneFox]

I want to pet it :3

 

[JimiNutz]

What a beautiful animal...

Who am I kidding, it's ugly as sin but still an impressive looking creature.

 

[All Possible Ways]

Why does it have a vagina for a mouth?

It's how they get you. Like an anglerfish's lure.
