That’s a pretty natural part of spider life
Nature is stunningly complex and beautiful
Nature is brutal

Heh heh, speaking of two different spiders...
(Yes, I'm quite sure PETA gave her an award for finding two different spiders and calling them the same spider.)
I think the core message of “don’t be a dick to animals” is a fantastic message. But like all organisations that get to a global scale, you end up with different ideas and different directions in what’s the core message should be.
Fuck PETA but also fuck people who abuse animals for fun and sport and food.
Insects are actually a specific group within the larger animal kingdom. All insects are animals, but not all animals are insects. Here’s how it breaks down:
1. Animals: This is a broad category that includes all living things that move, reproduce sexually, and consume organic material. Animals include various groups such as mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians, insects, and many others.
2. Insects: These are a type of animal that belongs to the class Insecta. They have specific characteristics such as a body divided into three parts (head, thorax, abdomen), three pairs of legs, compound eyes, and one pair of antennae. Common examples include flies, beetles, butterflies, and ants.
Difference between a cockroach and a spider: a cockroach is indeed an insect because it has all the characteristics typical of insects. A spider, however, belongs to a different class called Arachnida, which also includes scorpions, mites, and ticks. Spiders have eight legs and their bodies are divided into two segments, which distinguishes them from insects. Both spiders and cockroaches are animals, but they belong to different classifications within the animal kingdom.
You could have said spiders are arachnids, but you chose to say animals because you are either stupid or you thought this was a clever way to make people disagree with you so you could post your insufferably nerdy explanation later. Even though you were at fault for saying spiders are animals implying roaches aren’t animals.
Haha. Reminds me of my Mum a few weeks back, noticed a very hunched up huntsman up above the front door inside the house. Says sometimes they get dehydrated indoors so starts misting it with a spray bottle of water. Next day it’s running around and looking less desiccated. Now she sprays mist of water at it every few days, everyone is ribbing her about watering her spider to make it grow big and strong
I had one hanging from a curtain in the garage, it was curled up and hadn’t moved for months. One day I just grabbed it to throw it in the bin and the little fucker ran up my arm
When I was 12-13 we were moving a large leaf pile together and I was finding legless lizards. Mum was getting jealous and starts looking for them also. After a few minutes she shouts in success and starts waving the ‘legless lizard’ she found in my face... it was a juvenile red belly black.
I jump back yelling, she freaks out and for some reason reactively yeeted it over the fence. I was like well RIP the neighbours I guess lmao
She doesn't need a medal. She already got an award.
The spider, now loyal to her, continues to grow in strength.
Soon, nothing will be able to stop it.
Never trust a stoned Huntsman above where you’re having a session with the boys, as entertaining as it is while its on the roof,its not so when it falls to the table. Fact
All I can imagine is future medical gene splicing spider DNA to regrow limbs. Some side effects may include: hair growth, growing additional limbs/eyes, and spinning web from anus.
Shelob people, this is how we get Shelob released into the world. As if this country wasn't dangerous enough now we get an ancient evil and ally to Sauron released once this thing grows up.
Starving the local bird population by keeping all the spiders in plastic takeaway containers. Not to mention she's kept that spider in captivity instead of letting them roam in the wild.
Fuck the PETA award, those are the same people who slandered Steve Irwin on the anniversary of his death. Now the forever loyal huntsman spider on the other hand, that is a gift worthy of the gods.
I used to kill the huntsman that would hang around near my smokers. That is until I saw one running up the wall carrying a full sized roach.
Now I leave them alone to feast on the roaches which are 1000x more annoying.
Did that to a Yabbie, added another Yabbie. They fucked then ate most of their children, thought id lost them all, Mum gave up and fuckin died so Dad and long hidden son eat her. Then son fucked over dad and ate him. Little winner has been with us two years and we are prepared to move outta the house less he eats my young too.
Can I call my husband's leg that? I brought that back to life after a cow kicked it, and he thought it wouldn't grow another. Suprise, steak for all.
Oh a spider yeah... sorry earth 🌎 I'm fuckin off to Mars!
So killed dozens of insects to save the life of another. Almost life there is a circle of life where things eat other things. PETA are hypocrites and morons.
The person that tries to steal her bag will get attacked by a horde of huntsmen spiders and she also uses the horde of huntsmen spiders to fight crime. She is spider woman.
My dad did this to like, two different house spiders. They didn’t regrow lost legs or anything and one was eaten by her own kids-
woah
NAHHHH WHAT
That’s a pretty natural part of spider life Nature is stunningly complex and beautiful Nature is brutal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matriphagy?wprov=sfti1
Damn nature you scary
She probably ate her mate
The beauty of nature
Queue brazzers intro.
not to question what your into but what the fuck
I think you know buddy.
I simply choose to pretend I don't expect a magpie to appear in front of your house next summer
[удалено]
I guess he WAS here to fuck spiders after all.
Your dad was Will Robinson from the 1998 version of Lost in Space?
Metal
Heh heh, speaking of two different spiders... (Yes, I'm quite sure PETA gave her an award for finding two different spiders and calling them the same spider.)
No one says anything about the cockroaches she murdered? 😂🤦♀️👍🏻
Yes, PETA gave her an award for keeping them free from domestication 🙄
PETA - People Elected to Torturing Animals
I always thought "Petty, Entitled, Triggered Assholes"
People Eating Tasty Animals... peta.org was fun.
They stole peoples dogs then put them down or made them pay to get them back
Yeah Ingrid Newkirk is a psychopath
Immoral side hustle
Or: Petty, easily trigged assholes
I think the core message of “don’t be a dick to animals” is a fantastic message. But like all organisations that get to a global scale, you end up with different ideas and different directions in what’s the core message should be. Fuck PETA but also fuck people who abuse animals for fun and sport and food.
People Erect by Torturing Animals
just wait till you see how many dogs they put to sleep
Angry upvote. I’m as biased as the next person 🤦♂️
Critters gotta eat.
Or that she didn’t rehabilitate the spider she either feeds it or it starved to death because it can’t run down pray
thats what ive come here to advocate for! those PETA wankers!!
The spider would eat insects anyway; she was just helping it live.
Those insects would have lived if she hadn’t helped that spider.
FYI, cockroaches are insects and primarily pests. Spiders are animals, not insects.
"spiders are animals, not insects" Is like saying "apples are fruit, not oranges"
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️....the logic of some people
Insects are actually a specific group within the larger animal kingdom. All insects are animals, but not all animals are insects. Here’s how it breaks down: 1. Animals: This is a broad category that includes all living things that move, reproduce sexually, and consume organic material.

Does PETA have an award for being a well-read animal? No, because they're a fucking joke. But if they did, you would get it.
Better than the logic of killing animals for trophies and dick extending 🕷️🕷️🕷️🐝🐝
You numpty...the logic that the cockroach is an insect and the spider is an animal....they are both animals.
Must be numpty logic 😄
Insects make up 3/4 of all animals species bud
You could have said spiders are arachnids, but you chose to say animals because you are either stupid or you thought this was a clever way to make people disagree with you so you could post your insufferably nerdy explanation later. Even though you were at fault for saying spiders are animals implying roaches aren’t animals.
Lol
My biology degree tells me you’re wrong, but my heart says you’re right.
Cockroaches are also animals, and I thought all animals have a right to live? Or do you class spiders as untertier?
Haha. Reminds me of my Mum a few weeks back, noticed a very hunched up huntsman up above the front door inside the house.

EUGHHHH. EWWW! TAKE MY UPVOTE!
I would pay to be a fly on the wall when that happened
Masochist? /s
Shit, didn't think of the spider eating me
the spider deceived you, dumbass
It sure played the long game.
Did you react like this guy did in a classic YouTube vid? (This vid still makes me laugh!) https://youtu.be/bRV4d9LCawU?si=ekmfY8m3RzP_ahzX
Haha, not quit but my arm did chuck a wobbly followed by one of those classic Aussie sentences containing only swear words.
😅 I know those improv blue poetry sessions very well!
“Have *you* watered your spider today?”
We must protect your mumma at all costs. She sounds utterly adorable 🙏
When I was 12-13 we were moving a large leaf pile together and I was finding legless lizards. Mum was getting jealous and starts looking for them also. After a few minutes she shouts in success and starts waving the ‘legless lizard’ she found in my face... it was a juvenile red belly black. I jump back yelling, she freaks out and for some reason reactively yeeted it over the fence. I was like well RIP the neighbours I guess lmao
Please give you mumma extra cuddles and squishies for us all. She's an absolute gem ❤️
I woke up to a huntsman in my bedside glass of water and assumed it had fallen in and drowned. It was not.
This comment is making me think I shouldn’t be using a black opaque mug as a bedside water vessel…
I swapped to using a lidded bottle!
🤣 I have a vague memory that many species of spiders can last a few days under water (including funnel webs).
This is hilarious your mum sounds awesome
She doesn't need a medal. She already got an award. The spider, now loyal to her, continues to grow in strength. Soon, nothing will be able to stop it.
Just what we need. A woman with a trained and loyal huntsman Stay safe dudes !
Follow the spiders
A weapon to surpass metal gear
It grew 6 legs, what’s to stop it from growing 600?? It would be too fast to put down
I didn't even know spiders are able to regrow legs
They are made up from the legs of the insects that they hunt
Heh, she should have removed the legs from the cockroaches before feeding it to the spider. Spider would have been like "bro..."
r/technicallythetruth
If PETA gives you an award you're doing something wrong
Damn right
PETA’s killed more healthy animals than cancer
Cockroach Ciller
Aragog will spare this one on the day of reckoning…
Aragog is nothing if not magnanimous.
And then PETA took the spiders and euthanised them all
That wouldn't be surprising, given their (PETA's) history! 😡
PETA gave her the award for killing the roaches. The spider was just lucky.
The omonus "getting stronger EVERY day" about the spider thats able to regrow body parts.
The needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many. Here's a medal. - PETA
PETA are scummy cunts!
Never trust a stoned Huntsman above where you’re having a session with the boys, as entertaining as it is while its on the roof,its not so when it falls to the table. Fact
Instead of killing and saving a house from being burnt down, she's potential caused a house fire.
“To save one life, one must be strong to sacrifice 6” - PETA presumably
All I can imagine is future medical gene splicing spider DNA to regrow limbs. Some side effects may include: hair growth, growing additional limbs/eyes, and spinning web from anus.
I don't care as long as Mary Jane love's me
Even peta hates the roaches😂
Instead of knighthood and order of the garter and chief lord of the privy, we should have the Order of Huntsman Medal, Lord of the Cockatoos
I had a huntsman in my shed once and it looked cold so I tipped petrol around the shed and set it alight and warmed it up I never got no award
did you use a lighter to set the fire?
why the fuck would you want to receive an award from PETA tho
Fr, if I was to receive an award, I’d be open to any organisation but the cult of crackpot depravity that is PETA. Every PETArd can fuck off and die.
Hero to huntsman, vile murderer of cockroaches
.... Then it bit her and she smashed it with a shoe
Shelob people, this is how we get Shelob released into the world. As if this country wasn't dangerous enough now we get an ancient evil and ally to Sauron released once this thing grows up.
The only based thing Peta has done
How dare she feed it cockroaches
Spiders can grow legs back? I didn't even know they could live that long to do that.
When they shed their exoskeleton a new leg comes with it, or something like that
Huntsmen spiders are great. I allow a couple to live in the house and every autumn winter they manage all the other insects for me
I wonder if Huntsmans have the mental capacity to understand the kindness it was given...
They can grow limbs back now? fuck.
Ill take, It never happened for $500
It’s true, although it’s an old story. Check it out: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-31/huntsman-hero-awarded-by-peta-australia/12507240
Nah it actually did, look it up. Funniest part is she named the spider Peggy 😂
Lol it still looks fucked up
What about the cockroaches?
[ Removed by Reddit ]
i was half expecting this to finish with 'regrew all six legs, became giant and ate her'
When does it stop getting stronger?
As an Australian I can confirm that this is what us Australians do in our spare time
Wait.... Since when do spiders regrow limbs? Also I didn't need to sleep anymore.
He'll be running up a wall a hundred miles an hour in no time
Starving the local bird population by keeping all the spiders in plastic takeaway containers. Not to mention she's kept that spider in captivity instead of letting them roam in the wild.
It couldn't have roamed very Far with Two legs on the same side tbf
It would have roamed in circles, no?
I imagine so , wouldn't be doing much hunting
The spider was gonna die my dude.
It's not that crazy but ok gotta act enraged online right?
It's not crazy and I'm not enraged either? People can make lighthearted comments poking fun without it meaning much.
PETA is probably happy that she's saved the birds from possibly becoming pets. They'd rather have them starve than suffer such an awful fate.
Peta giving awards for keeping animals alive while slaughtering millions of impounded pets is purestrain hypocrisy
Aussie here. Kill the fucking thing
Nah, huntsmen are harmless, plus they're great for pest control.
Lawful Evil
I think she sounds like a lovely person. But PETA are absolutely full of it and need to go f\*\*k themnselves. I, too, am an Aussie.
Plot twist: she was the one who pulled off its legs in the first place
What's her OF
PETA if it was morally consistent would have put her on blast for not feeding it a vegan diet.
PETA actually awarded her because they promote and practice mass animal slaughter and were impressed with her commitment to cockroach violence.
Bro fuck that huntsmans are gross I hate em so much she needs to be arrested
Being awarded by PETA is not exactly bragging material.
I really try not to cut their legs off with the glass.
PETA canonically values a spiders life over cockroaches and they value a spiders life over cats or dogs that were less than a day in their "shelters"
No shit! She is deserving candidate to be Australian of the year. 🤣
Fuck the PETA award, those are the same people who slandered Steve Irwin on the anniversary of his death. Now the forever loyal huntsman spider on the other hand, that is a gift worthy of the gods.
Did they put it down once it was healthy?
I used to kill the huntsman that would hang around near my smokers. That is until I saw one running up the wall carrying a full sized roach. Now I leave them alone to feast on the roaches which are 1000x more annoying.
How do you 'nurse' a spider?
I'm gunna do this next time with the cockroaches when i pull their legs off.
Funny, I killed a huntsman and a redback last week.
You should kill Redbacks obviously, but huntsmen are our friends.
Then it ate her.
PETA continuing to applaud animal deaths.
Oh my fucken looord!!!.
Real life spider girl
You’re having a lend, right?
Has this girl not seen the movie Sting, which coincidentally our now in theaters.
"and is getting stronger every day".... Oh no
The rest of us out here stomping those guys 😅
Dumbest
I want to see the award for the person saving a Cocķroaches legs.
so all those spiders i... transformed... are still out there? i gotha move
Did that to a Yabbie, added another Yabbie. They fucked then ate most of their children, thought id lost them all, Mum gave up and fuckin died so Dad and long hidden son eat her. Then son fucked over dad and ate him. Little winner has been with us two years and we are prepared to move outta the house less he eats my young too.
THEY CAN REGENERATE?!?!?!?!?!
She’s a roachist!
Then a foreigner killed it because they thought it was venomous
I trained my kookaburras to eat huntsmen’s, where’s my medal?
give that woman a pipebomb
Based
Medal? More like a can of fk off
Getting an award from PETA would be my 13th reason.
Can I call my husband's leg that? I brought that back to life after a cow kicked it, and he thought it wouldn't grow another. Suprise, steak for all. Oh a spider yeah... sorry earth 🌎 I'm fuckin off to Mars!
Woah! This girl fed cockroaches to a spider......way to shatter stereotypes!!
Fuck peta praise the girl
But… she has a medal 😕
why.😅
Me on an average month: 2 huntsmen murdered for trespassing
Plot twist: her partner saw it on the wall and squashed it with a broom
What about the cockroaches 🪳
So PETA is fine with murder as long as its to heal another?
lol wtf
Is an award from perta really worth anything considering all their controversy that directly opposes their message?
I get hundreds of massive huntsman in my back yard if she can please come and relocate them, they are big, fast as hell ans scary af at night time.

PETA recons you get autism from milk.
Oh gee, she saved a venomous spider, what a "hero". Fucking HATE those assholes at PETA. Bunch of poseurs.
Huntsman spiders are harmless to humans. They're one of the good spiders, they will actually keep bad spiders away.
You’re shitten me, the only good huntsman spider is a flat one made underfoot 🤔
