That spider's not only giant, it's badass.  Anybody else notice that it's missing a leg?

The worst are those giant, bat-eating centepedes.  ;)
what's with these tropical places and giant insects??

I ain't ever going to South America.  When it's not batshit insane semi-dictators, it's bat eating insects.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

I know.  Insects have six legs, otherwise it's something that looks like an insect but is not.  It still looks like something out of Starship troopers.
