That is really zoomed in! They are barely bigger than your hand.

I have watched one of those wasps drag a spider away while I was gardening in my backyard a few years back
JoeDRobinson
Is a Sydney resident, can confirm that is a freakishly enormous Huntsman

Jeez, they don't like the spiders, so we get someone in to take care of them for them, and then they don't like those either. There's just no pleasing some people!
Raileks
don't worry if they don't like them we can just release wave after wave of chinese needle snakes

Is it just me or did other people think the wasp was carrying a hand?

Thank you! When the picture was smaller I was thinking either I need my coffee stat! or its still Late-Night-imgur somewhere and they're posting X-Files stuff.

A facehugger in Australia would end up in a hole paralyzed wih some wasp eggs in its ass in like 3 minutes.

Huntsmen are harmless.
rbudrick
Huntsmen dont bite humans. They are just big and scary and eat lots of pests. The wasp you dont want fucking with you.
CyborgScribe
I don't buy it. I've been bitten by a freakin celler spider before and they are absolutely tiny compared to us. And it definitely hurt.

Spiders scare the shit out of me, logical or not.

Nah, Rudd is cuddly until he gets the wrong meal served on his plane, you are thinking of Abbott.

Aussies comments are all that they see this shit every day I would never sleep again. I will take 3 feet of snow in winter and -40C if thats what it takes to never have this shit in my life.

I loved Australia. Spent 3 months there and the people were awesome. And 0 interactions with anything nippy

Ye I'm not happy that doom and fearmongering stories and pictures have preloaded me with negativity.

Same. I road from one side to the other. No snakes, no spiders. Awesome people.

As a Brisbane native, between golf ball hail, wildfires, drop bears, big ass wasps, low flying bats and huge water dragons its a mine field most days. Below is Barney hes about 6ft and lives in my back yard.

Hello Barney!

I'm assuming your cat, if you have one, is of the indoor type.
Pishposhbingbong
I think you'll find that it's barney's back yard now.
Gorzine
My arachnophobic gf says she lived there for a year, never saw a spider. My theory is her brain shut down anytime she saw one and rebooted afterwards.
LunaAtlas
No doubt they were watching her.
DosPadres
Iām gonna need a banana for scale on this one
Astral134
Spider ate the banana
ChelVanin
You really donāt wanna know.

Bigger than you think, not as big as it looks here.

A big Huntsman will be about the size of your hand.

BipedalHumanoidWithSlightlyDifferentNoseRidge
Not very big. Maximum 35mm; 1.4 In ; 15-20% banana. But effective.

Big enough to be a face-hugger. Yea no nope. Australia, you stay where you are ok.

I immediately regret this decision

TheSilverSeraph
Aww cute! A baby huntsman
Trankia12
I knew the huntsmans can get this big, but the wasps too? Yeah thats a nope from me.
KaylRawr
It's funny though huntsman's aren't even deadly to humans. Just fuckin scary.
YoungHeathen
Iām not afraid of spiders in a rational āthat could kill meā way. Iām afraid of spiders in a āAAARRRGGHH WRONG SHAPE WRONG SHAPE RRRRUUUUUUUNNNNā way, and that thing drives straight to the core of that fear.
walterPPK
Actually a few people do regularly die each year from being startled by a huntsman dropping into their lap while driving or popping out while operating machinery.
HiHowAreYou92
They are scary. I lived in aus for a year and the first room I got had one bigger than my hamd living in the crown moulding. I didnt sleep well the first few nights.
cobacalao
It is there. Zoom in
Bystandr
Check out the tarantula hawk in SW USA and Mexico - super venom in those suckers. Get stung and they tell you to lie down and scream to deal
xizar
Coyote Peterson's encounter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnExgQ81fhU
Bystandr
Yeah the pain varies from person to person but most metion the worst part is over within 30 mins or so. I think Coyote was debillitated for over 25 mins. Some report intense pain lasting for 90 mins to 2 hours before subsiding. Sounds excruciating.
Bystandr
with the pain lol.
NotTinyPancakes
damn cazadors
SirRichfield
Great, thank you. And now I also know there's the Schmidt sting pain index...
tupactopus
they sound so insanely loud when they fly by you it's ridiculous
somnif
It's REALLY hard to get stung by them though. You have to practically jam them in to your skin before theyll sting. They're quite chill bugs
Fawin
You mean the cazador?
SophieClockwise

BigJT
Imagine standing still worked, and they'd just leave you alone, but nobody tried it because IT'S A FUCKIN CAZADOR.
dohcohv
Oh look, batting practice
NotTinyPancakes
just load upa ton of tourniquets and auto stims and youre good to swing away
dohcohv
Power armor and super sledge make New Vegas Cazadores trivial. Also deathclaws, super mutants or anything you come upon.
NotTinyPancakes
well yeah but but golf club and no armour

The cool part is that the spider isn't dead, it's just paralysed. The wasp will inject her eggs into the spider's abdomen and the wasp larvae will hatch and eat their way out while the spider remains alive.

But offcourse, why would you go for gruesome if you can dial it all the way up to Australian mega-gruesome.
Dookhammer
We have those in America too! They just eat tarantulas. They are call tarantula hawks
ImAGrower
We also have normal "spider" wasps, too, in the northeast. Smaller with red like the one in photo and you see them dragging little spiders and sometimes wolf spiders back to a hole in the ground.
LunaAtlas
Spose we can't have too many spiders then.

I can hear ED-E starting the battle music.
TsubakiTragic
... but first the wasp will remove the spider's legs; no meat in spider legs. I see this play out in my garden every summer and tbh, I have never seen a spider win the battle. Once a wasp finds a spider it's game over.

Spider think thatās cool too?
onlyhalfghost
what is cool for the wasp is chaos for the spider, and the fly of this parable is having a panic attack in the corner
bolobass
Nah yeah no worries
tinyfootprints
I bet that is extremely uncomfortable for the spider.

Neat.

Oh good so youāre saying the spiderās totally gonna make it. Then the spider is gonna be a foster parent.

Does the spider resume living its life while the eggs are gestating or just existing as a live incubator?
KoRplussomeletters
Paralysed, never to move again. And, according to another comment, the wasp removes its legs. So that's nice too.
bill4935
You can't say the wasps aren't tidy.
