I always found it interesting that the bug was totally unrestrained while those guys went in. What if it had reacted faster?

Six-spotted fishing spider, for those curious.
whyWontKeiraKnightleyReturnMyPhoneCalls
that is just the right amount of slow, you slut
kSpacePoster
Holy crap. I didn't know spiders could do that
SunBrolem
Only specific species can. Fishing spiders, like this one, are designed for this.
bigblindguy
I didn't either, but read title, watched gif, thought yeah thats exactly how I'd expect a spider to catch a fish. Hunters thru and thru.
Logan44
Slow no.
avaliakitcat
That's pretty cool though ...

looks like it's from australia

Legit question, what kind of spider is this one, cos I kicked one out of my house last night (looked like it at least, design and color)
RigoryMorty
European Raft Spider
drenix
Probably not then or a tourist since I'm in Argentina. Thanks
RigoryMorty
They could have some relatives all over the world, but I believe this is a Raft Spider. Here's one I caught
RigoryMorty
*They do have relatives all over the world, Dolomedes are wide spread. But not all of them catch fish.
drenix
Except this one was... in a scale from 1 to 10 of nope about 1. I wasnt takingchances tho and tossed it outside.
drenix
This one was like a larger version of "those tiny ones you may find around your house" (ones barely as large as your pinky nail)
MaddDogMattis
Fuck spiders! But here's your +1 for the very informative GIF

Not nearly as impressive than if it made a weighted web net, then cast it out with great skill.
bigblindguy
Some spiders do that, Ive seen a spider make a web then hold it in front legs and throw it over a fly to catch that bad boy on the wing.
Taur622
Oh shit, I'm lazy, can you post a video of that?
FountainPenn
One place I thought I'd be safe from spider was water. Just in time for summer to have this newly formed phobia.

Unless you're a minnow you don't have anything to worry about

Tried to drown a HUGE spider once. Turned out to have millions of babies on its back, and they spread along the water like nightmare fuel.
NightingalesBlackAce
Few spiders live in water and they require certain climate so just find out where they live and put your nerves at ease

I was fine. The spiders weren't huge or furry, but it the worst way I've ever woken up. The water I was in washed them all off... hopefully

Spiders are everywhere except where there is constant ice I think.
dangerkitty
There are spiders in the arctic and antarctic.

Interesting. Now I need to read about them.

Well, judging from the gif they can only get you if you're small enough to fit in their legs. So you should be fine, if you're a human
MrSusansBalls
If that gets you, a species of aquatic giant centipede has recently been discovered. They're highly poisonous and unafraid of humans :)
Lebiram
Oh goodie! *hides from the outside world*
MrSusansBalls
Scientists have recently discovered a species of centipede which lives in the area hidden from the outside world.

This thing isn't even a water spider. They build webs underwater and drag air bubbles down to them and shit.
gmdave
They shit in their air bubbles? Not a very good strategy.
1337CaptainHadock
Some spider species live underwater - by making nets under the water that can hold on to air bubbles :)

My phobia stemmed from a big black water spider going into my gumboot while wading. I was 7 and it still scars me.
Flyndaran
Phobias that stem from traumatic events make sense. But so many come from freaking nowhere.

My phobia started around the same age. My mom was driving, and I was in the back seat. I felt something tickling my thigh, near my groin. >

I freaked and pulled my shorts down and saw a spider on my leg about the size of a ping pong ball. Upon discovery, it scattered across my >

Leg into the crack between the two back seats and we never saw it again.

A scorpion crawling up the inside of my pants leg upper thigh. Felt a thing, grabbed through my pants, rip them down, BAM big ass scorpion!

Safety is an illusion, so the answer is obvious: practice magic tricks.

Sydney Funnel Web spiders, the most venomous spider in the world, can survive 24-30 hrs under water.

Did you know they recently discovered a semi-aquatic centipede? Neat!

Diving Bell Spiders. You won't thank me when you google that.
LordResinexTheQute
Damn right I'm not thanking you for that what the fuck why is that even a thing?
Rivalyn
Proof that no matter where you go on Earth you are never more than ten feet from a spider. No matter where.

I work in a factory cleanroom with a ten minute walk to any exit, somehow a wolf spider got in here past closed doors and filtered airvents

Sea spiders live in Antarctic oceans. And arctic wolf spiders in the Arctic. NO ESCAPE!

Golden orb weaver. Beautiful webs. Also they are fucking huge.

All spiders are cool as fuck, especially jumping spiders and fishing spiders.
Crestedtit
Yes to salticidae (jumping)! This is a raft spider. Pretty cool.

The black widow under my BBQ is just trying to keep the flies away from my family gatherings. Good job buddy!

They're learning. Preparing. And once humanity inevitably wipes itself out, it will be their turn.

They had their turn...

They'll have to duke it out with the Octopuses, and my money is on those eight tentacled bastards

I recommend reading Children of Time, if you like science fiction at all.

Actually, they've on Earth way longer than human beings...
GadenKerensky
Not if we turn Earth into Venus 2.0.

Bro, do you even science? Unpossible. Venus's atmosphere does have a lot more CO2 but it also 92x denser at the surface. It's day is (1)

If enough methane is released from the lower crust, or any number of sources, a similar lifeless planet can be achieved.
Cabbudge
Great, now try to talk to people without being a cunt.
MaybeSomeOtherDay
That under water view though. Also it's happening so fast, the other fish look like they're just staring while the whole thing's going down.
bigblindguy
What would they do? Watch buffalo being hunted by wolves: the buffs could turn and END the wolves, ONCE and FOREVER, but it is not their way
MattDerKomponist
It just boggles my mind how they film that.
LankyBootyGriswald
I mean... fish can't blink so...
StevenQUrkel
Bystander effect?
jayliu1984
I am thinking it maybe a set up. Maybe they ward off that pool with lots of fish
eggmuffin
Why would that be necessary? It's far cheaper to just film the real thing. If you find the spider, sooner or later, you will film it hunting
jayliu1984
I think it is highly unlikely someone would be so lucky to capture that with 2 cameras.
eggmuffin
Not at all. If you know where the spider perches, you know where it will catch a fish. That's where you setup the cameras.
Ruhig
To be fair, fish aren't known for being terribly clever...

This is just a normal badger. Unlike the honey badger it does occasionally give a fuck.
