Huntsman Spider | Molting

- Here's a video of a Huntsman spider molting. I went to the bathroom to fill a bucket when I saw it dangling on a single strand of web. I've never seen them do this so I set my phone up on timelapse to check what it would be doing in this position. Turns out this is how they molt. Amazing!
Thank you for watching!

@@beesmongeese2978 bees mong eese
tf does this even mean
What the hell is going on
spiders are based, thats whats going on you arachnophobic normies
My brain is telling me spiders are harmless but instinct tells me to burn the house down when I see one
Well that's overly dramatic
You're brain is wrong large spiders are dangerous because most of them are poisonous
@@Dilophobros never heard of an exaggeration
@@Lucy-yc4bc It's still dramatic
@@Dilophoretard
Had these in my house in Japan. Would startle the crap out of me because of how fast they are. There was an 80% chance they’d run away from you at lightning speed and a 20% chance they instead jump in your direction. And they can somehow manage to vertically climb walls, also at lightning speed.
Everything you said is true hahaha I have experienced one jumping at me during a shower, I panicked and almost slipped.
WAIT YOU LIVED IN JAPAN!?! BRO I'M JEALOUS 😭😭
One run up the side of my bed towards me, and if I did not pounce out of bed it would have been on my face.
@@Lucifersfreeduck Japan ain't all that great, honestly.
@@thinker787 really?
everyone being so fascinated about the spider while my paranoid a*s is glancing around the room looking if there are huntsmen.
I’m in the car while watching this and I just put both my legs on my seat - I am not taking chances 😭😭
HELP, this is one of my worst paranoia😭
Fr bro
Unless you guys are in Australia you’re fine
No ur not the only one 😂
I imagine it feels like taking your socks off after a long day but all over
hahaha it probably feels better than just removing your socks too! It'll probably be like removing shoulder aches and lower back pains as well
@@arachnotherapy7322 "ooooooh my knees hurt. Brb gunna shed my bones and grow new ones!"
Damn, that must be pretty good!
Imagine finding that thing in your socks
Not me thinking that was a god damn octopus in the thumbnail
@@samibichumani1176 the trick is to burn your socks.
"How long do you want your legs to be?"
That spider: "Yes."
I think finding the molt of such spider would be even more terrifying than finding the spider
Spider molts are less scary
@@solev657 neither are
@@solev657finding a molt means that the spider is still there, good luck living in your home knowing that there's a spider the size of your head somewhere
I hate having arachnophobia. They are such interesting creatures and I just have to be hardwired to panic in their presence.
I know what you mean. My arachnophobia reaction has reduced in intensity in recent years so I no longer panic, but I still get pretty intense fight or flight and that makes capture and release pretty stressful and difficult, but I usually manage in the end.
My arachnophobia went from "RUN" to "DIE"
Idk how to feel about that
Same :( they scare me sooooooo bad but they’re so good and I feel bad
A good friend of mine who is definitely not me got over their arachnophobia with the use of hallucinogens. Just leaving that info there in case anyone thinks it’s interesting.
@@haileybalmer9722
Oh no you don't! It would be mean, cruel even not to elaborate on that.
So nobody's gonna talk about how huge that spuder is
its an huntsman... they are big by nature
@@YetiSniffer true, this one is a sub adult even. once they mature they'd be big enough to pounce on mice for dinner
@@YetiSniffer I know but I've never seen one that big
When it's legs just kept coming they doubled in size lol
Whats a spuder ???
Molting is really hard on spiders, its very stressful and exhausting but im glad he turned out ok! Didnt know huntsman spiders molted thats super cool
I would love to see someone's reaction if they watched a human being do this and step out of their flesh.. would you all be saying How Majestic and beautiful it is then too? 🤔
@@amber619pop yes but to do that we would need hard shell as exoskeletons
@@amber619popwhat point are you trying to make..? Lmao
Every spider molts 🙄
@@amber619pop yes :)
0:32 that post molt clarity is crazy 😔
Fr 😢
He was contemplating his whole life right there
It takes a lot of unconditional love and compassion for a creature to not find this disturbing and chilling. But I get it.
Right! And, I get it too. However... it would not have had a chance to complete it's molting if that was in my house. Yes, I'm that girl. Nope 👎🏽
@@muganeeh9776 Same!! I would have the biggest bottle of spray I could find and kill it from a distance. Then have someone else throw it out. That's what I did with a huge wolf spider I saw in our house. I made our neighbor come and throw it outside after spraying it so much I knew it was dead and putting a glass over it just in case. No one else was home at our house at the time. So he just laughed at me and threw it out.
@@jennifer7648 that's terrible, I found a wolf spider in my basement before but fortunately it was already dead. The size of it still scared me though. It made me wonder if there were others around still living that I couldn't see.
@@amber619pop Yeah, everyone, including my teen son who was home sick from school that day laughed at me. My cousin laughed and said they always have really big ones in their house. She said she just smashes it with her shoe or a broom and moves on. Yikes 😬 That's a huge nope for me!!
it breaks my heart knowing they kill them instantly when they see it
man they're just tryna settle somewhere and eat every pesky ass pest in your house and nope you just had to put it away
if it's an infestation (if that's even possible with spiders) then sure it wouldn't phase me a little but a single big spider minding it's own business? :((
This position makes a lot of sense, actually- gravity is on their side while they're pulling themself out of their molt. Never seen this kind of thing before, that's awesome!
Wow! Something we don't normally see and here you are sharing it! Amazing!!!
hey there, thanks for dropping by! Don't worry, I'm sure there's more to come. haha
Wow !!
Npc moment
Spiders are our friends, they are the reason the world is not completely over-run by mosquitos and other pests, and they don't want to hurt us. It's too bad they scare so many people.
Im afraid of them because they give me the creeps I’m sure that’s why a lot of people have arachnophobia
@@LadyYautjaSpacePirate ah yes womenphobia
Spiders are creatures from hell🗿
@irfan nemat spiders are creatures from hell
There are also some very toxic spiders
"So thats why I burned the place down your honor.... It was gettin naked and I knew what was coming next!" 😂 🤣 😂
Even though I have arachnophobia, I still appreciate the cool molting process
Edit: I said I appreciated it . I didn't say I enjoyed looking at that. I like nature, but I fucking hate spiders. They scare the fuck outta me
No you don’t
me too.
Having arachnophobia but being incredibly curious.. I pressed the video.. and actually started tearing up and crying while watching it at the thought of me ever finding myself in the same room as one of these… I’ve also never met a arachnophobic who looked at a spider of that mass molting and was like “that’s cool”…
@@nottheone7688 don’t worry I have terrifying nightmares of them at least once a month to this day, and shivers still go down my spine when I see any kind of spider, whether it be a long legged tan spider with tiny beady eyes (the ones I can’t stand) or a tarantula (I can actually kind of stand it)
@@Smacadoodles i remember the day my family suspected I had arachnophobia. I was at a flag football game for my brothers and I had to use the bathroom. I went into the bathroom and I had already locked the door behind me when I realized the mass amount of huge.. I mean huge daddy long legs.. I started balling my eye’s out cause I felt trapped in there with them, went back to my parents in tears so they ask me what’s wrong, I tell them and they go take a look and have the audacity to say “they are just daddy long legs”.. best believe I did not use the bathroom in there.. Idc how apparently harmless they are
The bathroom is really a good choice, because of the humidity
true! it was right next to the toilet too
@@arachnotherapy7322 If I needed the toilet and I saw that huntsman, I would hold it for all eternity 😂😂

Freshly malted spiders are *squishy* and can't really hurt anyone or anything for a while.
@@WhatIsSanity Doesn't make them any less creepy lol
Me the entire time I'm watching this video, trying to appreciate all forms of life: 😐
lol some people are fascinated this. My knee-jerk reaction is just to 🏃♀️💨
@@amber619pop I mean, it can be both fascinating and terrifying lol
Yeah cause me personally don't know what I would've done he probably wouldn't have made it 😳
@@amber619pop Uggggh when it went from being limp to orientated I just about died 💀💀💀
@@kiki6745 lol same, not in my house! You do that crap somewhere I can't see! 😤
It baffles me that something can simultaneously be so foul and yet so mesmerising
What a gorgeous boy! I bet he feels so much better now that he's molted!
Gorgeous girl*
The gender of a Huntsman Spider can be inferred from the shape of their pedipalps and abdomens. Males have little bulbs on the ends of their pedipalps that look like little boxing gloves, and they have small abdomens (usually smaller than the cephalothorax). This one lacks the palpal bulbs, and has a relatively large abdomen, so this is likely a girl.
@@xxfalconarasxx5659 oh thank you! I didn't know that Acctually! I love spiders, even though they absolutely scare me. That Huntsman is absolutely gorgeous though, and while I wouldn't even think about holding her, I would love to see her in person!
You seem to know quite a bit about huntsman spiders though, is there anything else I should know about them? And how would I tell them apart from say a brown recluse or wolf spider?
@@Zephyr_The_Robot Well a Huntsman Spider is usually larger than a Wolf Spider. Wolf Spiders also don't seem to like climbing walls. They usually prefer to be on the floors. I think they do this because they can move faster on the ground, and Wolf Spiders are extremely fast, so take care not to startle them. Recluse Spiders have a lot less setae (the hairs that cover a spider's body), and have a distinct head shape reminiscent of the bottom half of a violin. Recluse Spiders also spin webs to make permanent nests, while the other two species do not, and only really use webs to help them get around. Wolf and Huntsman spiders do not have permanent nests, and will usually move from one place to another. If they have eggs, they will roll them up in a big web ball and carry them around with them. Among Wolf Spiders, hatched baby spiders will hitch a ride on their mother's backs for a while. Not sure if Huntsman Spiders do the same though, but I know they both do carry around the unhatched eggs at least.
@@xxfalconarasxx5659 they Carry their eggs with them?! That's so adorable!!! You seem to know alot about spiders! Do you own any?!
This is the most wholesome interaction I’ve seen with any two people on the internet 🥹
People with arachnophobia: So cool
Spider: Literally named huntsman
Spider: is a female spider but not called huntswoman
Looks like me trying to get out of my skinny jeans! 🤣
🤦♂️🙄
That is so coquette
I love that you can see him waiting for his legs to get dry enough to hold him up. And then he cleans his lil toesies!
*Me seeing it on my bathroom wall*
Me:nope nope nope nope
*burns the house to the ground
Hell yeah, the vibes in this comment section are immaculate 😤 also this was SO COOL to see!! I had no idea huntsman molted this way!
Glad you like it! I got really lucky I caught it in time to document it
I'm so scared of spiders like this one xd seeing a moment when he let free his legs from molt... Sweet jeez I won't be able to sleep this night.
I thought I would never find a huntsman spider beautiful in any way. But this video proved me wrong in a manner that I can't explain ...
Its such a coincidence that I find this now cause I just witnessed a spider molting a few seconds ago. fascinating!
awesome! what kind of spider did you witness molting?
@@arachnotherapy7322 A huntsman I believe
@@myushankaiswarm cool! you can expect a decline in the cockroach population in your house! hahaha
Did you say 'spider molting' out loud around your phone?? It recommended this because your phone is listening to you through your microphone you need to try and turn all of those permissions off, but even then it probably wont help, just gets rid of targeted ads, not the actual spying, they do that with or without permission.
I have arachnophobia but own 40 species of tarantula ( I know has me baffled too 🤷♂️) apparently it’s the way true spiders move that makes you scared of them because they are so fast. Great video nice to see how it molts 🥰
And their looks not just how fast they are I still wouldnt want one near me
Quite amazing creatures to have around. Huntsman spiders are very good for pest control, better than many other spiders, id argue
I appreciate spiders cause of how amazing they are and how much they help the ecosystem and I’m not an arachnophobic but this makes me understand why some people are
Fascinating viewing, great to watch and really eerie at the same time. I’m scared of spiders but that footage had me transfixed. Great job 👏
Absolutely love this video, I have 15 tarantulas and they are incredible creatures ^^ Thank you for sharing this, you have a new sub from me now ^^
I'm glad you like it Jessie, I appreciate the sub!
Oh my so many pets
mosquitoes and flies the moment they get in your house:
this isnt arachnotherapy this is arachnohorrifying
I have no idea why this video was recommended to me - someone with arachnophobia- a year late but here we are. Hated every second but was also mesmerised.
If there was a spider like that, I'd call the army
This is the reason why Australia had a wildfire
Did someone try to torch a huntsman? haha
@@arachnotherapy7322 I hope someone never does, otherwise he is already dead.
the other day my mom and i watched a nursery web spider molt just like this, and i was immediately reminded of this video! we watched it for like half an hour. once it was completely done and discarded its molt, i got it to crawl on my hand! it was such a beautiful spider... my mom and i both love them so it was awesome to get to witness this in person
"Huh? I did it? I'm alive? YES!"
Possibly one of the coolest videos on the web... 🤣🤣
one of the coolest things to witness in person too!
I didn't know they did that! Fear of spiders increased
Imagine you get bigger, but because your skin doesn’t grow with you, you’d need to put all your energy into getting rid of this old skin of yours.
Spiders are very vulnerable during a molt. The process is exhausting for them, they can even get stuck and die horribly.
When shedding their skin successfully, they need to recover - their new skin including their fangs are still soft, so they have to harden up.
Tarantulas who are able to kick hairs, usually kick hairs right before they molt to keep away any predators. It’s interesting and super cool.
Bless it! No amount of relaxing background music will offset how nerve racking and completely unnecessary it is to have that spider casually undressing itself in your home! Just no 😂
I was surprised by how long its legs were. Fantastic timing and footage. Thank you! I adore huntsmans.
IF this was in my shower, I would be doing everything to protect this spider while it was weak..
Bro if that was in my shower, I would literally scream like a girl and throw something hard at the Spider until it dies.
@@CrimsonRoblox sameeee lmfao
@@CrimsonRoblox Why ffs 😡
@2RAW Why kill such a beautiful animal, seriously you people need to learn to love spiders like I did. Saying that even though I was arachnophobic I wouldn't go out of my way to kill them.
@@bentennyson2398 yeah love them and those are scary..
Spiders: Help humans in countless ways and are relatively cute
99.9% of humans: "Its squishing time."
Honey I put the house up for sale today and made reservations at the Hilton.
Beautiful! But goodness, it looks exhausted when it first comes out!
That looked freaky... But I love it
Great job! Before I found this video I thought that those things are "dead" huntsman spiders. But now, thanks to this video, everytime I see that in my bathroom, I'm gonna sh*t my pants knowing that the owner might still be around hiding somewhere.
Its 2am and i realised sleep is not needed
Thanks
Awesome arachnid... I'm exhausted just watching this, bless its lil' heart!!!👏🏽👀🙃
(In my defense, I am considerably older than it is. Now I'm gonna be up all night wondering how old I might be in Spider-years...
(I don't think my psychotropic meds are working any more.)
This thing could be in the NBA look at the LENGTH on this guy.
That is that wosrvmist Alien assed thing I've seen in my life - and I can't stop watching it.
When I visited the Phillipines from U.S a few years back I found this hunstman near my toilet and I was like nope.
Lol Australians randomly be filming giant spiders molting in their bathrooms 😂
and your point is?
and your point is?
Arachnophobia activated ✅🥲
🕷️🕸️
Who ever is afraid of spiders? Thats arachnologically impossible!
@@donyosxd dude is in the comments defending spiders with his life 💀💀
Spider: *gets out of jeans*
Spider 2 seconds later: _D A N C E_
Spiders are adorable, love them.
Alright it’s done molting, get the shoe!
If you use a shoe, it'll put it on
It’s not a huntsman spider it’s name is dadgetthegun
regular people: ew massive spiders
my australian friend: awwww look how cute that fella is eh?
Beautiful!!!!! The spider looks like Spiderman hanging out on some NYC building waiting to stop crime somewhere! I love the name of this channel, so, I subscribed!!! God Bless
this is one of the rarest moments.
you were so lucky to catch it on camera
thanks for sharing💙
Good Catch. See their Skins and Hides quite often in Cellars or Hides. And of course their fluffy sometimes enormous Borrow Webs. Some of mine, at Work, I can Feed grown! Catapillars.😆
Same experience before I got this clip, just exoskeletons everywhere lol. I hope you haven't experienced one jumping at you! haha
Don't think so. Zebra Jumpers and maybe a Runner. Only the Zebra really spooked me shortly.😆
I have a weird as strong Aversion against the Touch of Webbing, makes me freeze instantly. No Way to get rid of that.
You learn how to move trough Rows and Shrubs pretty quick with our Garden Spider Orbs. Sometimes with Pearl inside...🤣
There is always a Stick around. Or just plugging Strings from one Side when you see them. It's the nicer Way.😄
@@rosemiller417 I know that feeling because it ahs the same effect on me! The stairs from our garden to our main door takes 15 steps and orb weavers always spin these annoying random strands of web that cross my path every morning. they usually snag on my face, sometimes on my eyes and I start flailing my arms around thinking they might lunge at me hahaha.
Hey thanks for the idea, I'll try your technique of using a stick to navigate my way across our stairway lol
Lol. Yes or just anything.
For the Cellar I just take the small swipe broom. Our House Spiders weave the Corners shut on Headhight..
I luckily just freeze. Too to not get the Pearl on me when possible. Usually they fall, often they do not...
Flailing could hurl it to you beside injuring the Spider and yourself.
Part 1 prevents me from doing it most...
Ah fantastic, I was thinking of having a nightmare later on but I was running out of ideas, I'll try and work this in......
The spider owns the house now
That was way more interesting than I expected. Thanks for sharing
Literally ones I see even just one spider that's gigantic I immediately spray it with water I'm not lying that's kinda terrifying 💀
There's no need for that
I made this comment 1 year ago and I cannot understand anything I said-
It's so strange seeing how long spider's legs are when completely outstretched like that. Gorgeous boy! I bet it felt so much better being able to breathe after all that.
That’s very cool, but also a whole lotta nope!
0:51 caught me off guard.
the part when the spider got out of the molt while its legs are extended
idk why but that looks terrefying
I love watching long legged spiders molt. One of the least elegant things in nature. They become, for a brief moment, a flacid Muppet and it will always amuse me
I love watching spiders molting. It’s like a beautiful vulnerable haunting dance.
Very relaxing to watch. Thankyou
Imagine seeing that in your bedroom before you go to sleep. You wake up in the morning and you find it on your face 😳
I'd want to pull a grenade if that happened to me
Facehugger from Alien
@@trunkschillman yeah lol
I was expecting to be creeped out but no, I'm amazed and intrigued :0
That is so cool. Well done on the video! I’m subscribing
Thanks Ailie, hope you enjoy the other videos too!
Forget about the can of raid you need a pistol for that thing.😵
I may have arachnophobia but i gotta admit, this is pretty astisfying
"This is my first time seeing a huntsman molt" Australian behavior
Bro Imagine being an invertebrate and haveing to molt every time you have a growth spurt. Can not. Anyway, really cool video. Its awsome to watch all these things happen.
imagine what bullies would do to you while you molt, ending up dead is a real possibility! hahaha I wouldn't want to go through it as a human lol
So cool! Iv'e only see T's molting..Thank you!❣🕷❣
I love how non-Aussies go on about how big huntsman are, it's like they're forgetting the true giants... TARANTULAS. Our big spiders are just flat and wide, yours have GIRTH and SO MUCH HAIR
Tarantulas are less creepy for that reason, though. Don't really like them much either, but they have a much more gentle gait than their more rapid brethren.
Lmao it’s like it’s doing a little dancey dance when it comes out! So cute!
Impressive! Huntsman are very cool!
The more they molt bigger they get, awesome molt, with no problems 🕷️ no feeding at this time, a month must go by.
There fangs are very frail.
absolutely terrifying
Awesome!
I saw a small brown house spider molt a while back. Was very cool to see. I'd like to see a huntsman do so though!
He came out bigger than he was before. Frikken amazing
Exactly, that's its point, to be able to grow♡
It's quite fascinating to watch such a creature molt...such a sweet creature too!
when the spider molts: scary!
when spiderman molts: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
''ill dance dance dance with my hands hands hands''
-molting spider
No one’s going to talk about how something so big got In their bathroom and evidently set up shop without them noticing?
Huntsmen are mobile spiders, they don't "set up shop" the way that web-builders do.
Aww it’s so cute ❤
I'd shid my pants if I saw it. Look at the legs movement, it looks like something straight out of the horror movie with aliens 🥶
This song is often used in modded medieval style Minecraft, I really love it.
So cool! I didn’t know they molted like that!
That was awesome! 😃
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
