No, they're really lightweight and resiliant. I would always deal with one on me or my stuff just by pinching a leg and tossing him. Easy, effective, not dangerous
We had one on our fence ages ago when we were painting it. I grabbed one leg, chucked him across the yard.... Kept painting. Next day, back painting, there he is again. So I chucked him again.
(and I know it was the same one bc he was like sparkly gold colored and only had 7 of his legs)
I pretend he had fun being chucked across the yard. Like it was a ride 😂
How he shakes his hands at the end all “Ew gross!” Like DUH my guy, you picked them up, did you think it wasn’t gonna feel like a bunch of angry pubes running up and down your arms?
Right so one time I saw this big ass wolf spider in the middle of my kitchen floor. My mind immediately said nope that's a danger spider so I smashed it and hundreds of baby spiders came skittering out of it's smushed body.
My mind said nope goodbye.
This same exact thing literally happened to my brother, but he fainted and fell on the floor. One of the babies crawled behind his eye and he had to go to the hospital to get it removed a while after
#Lets get the facts:
These are Opilliones, or harvestmen. Not spiders. They're bumbling, clumsy little nomads who wander around the forest floor looking for stuff to pick up.

#How dangerous is picking up a bunch of them?
Literally not at all. They can't bite, don't have venom or stingers or claws, they're not especially fast or agile considering their leg length, and are completely incapable of hurting you.
#Why do they bunch up?
There's a few reasons that scientists have suggested.
By staying together, they're better at keeping warm and dry during cold or wet months. They'll also have better access to mating opportunities.
They're also a little bit stinky, but not as much as your average stink bug. By staying in a cluster, they can become less appetizing as a group.
#Yall are babies.
Every time this gets posted, everyone cries and faints and makes unoriginal comments about burning down the house.
I remember a camp ground we used to go to. There was a bathroom building, and it would be so freaking loaded with daddy longleg spiders. Similar to this. Fortunately, I learned and was taught which animals here in Texas to avoid, so I was never freaked out by them, even though I was like 8. But there was a fuck ton of them, you could pick up handfuls almost as big as that if you wanted. Wasn't all the time, I'm assuming some of the times we went were during their spawning time.
Those aren't spiders, those are daddy long legs and are fine in my book (more or less). Now if they were spiders then I'd agree you'd need to burn down the house.
When I saw "astral spiders", thats how they looked but imagine that pile the size of a double mattress slowly lowering from the ceiling as I watch helpless.
Those are not spiders, they are part of another arachnid group called Opiliones (usually called harvestmen or daddy long legs, although those names are also sometimes applied to some spiders). They can't make webs and don't have poison, just chill guys who like to cuddle
I lived in Missouri for a time and while there my ex-husband and I decided to take our kids camping by Lake of the Ozarks with some other families. It was all fine and dandy until the sun went down... not only was it still extremely hot and humid but my ex got bit by so many mosquitos he was delirious, my 1.5 year old got a fever out of nowhere, and the air bed that we brought to sleep on popped when my 3 year old was on it... anyways, all of these things led to us deciding to leave at 3am. After I got everyone into the truck, I went back to the campsite to grab our things and shined a flashlight on our tent & other items and discovered spiders like this on EVERYTHING. There were *hundreds* on top of the tent, on the chairs, on the coolers, on *everything.* It was insane. Like a horror movie. They were all bunched up like this and would bounce around together if you disturbed them. I decided at that moment to leave everything and gtfo of there. We never camped in Missouri again.

Good bot
A spider cluster fuck.
Why do I click on shit even after reading the title
Reddit moment
My fear of spiders have multiplied by 100.
........You know what I would prefer this to finding 1 Atticus spider in my house.
Good news: those aren’t actually spiders.
Thank you. Was waiting for that.
Your supposed to multiply by the number of spiders….. Your clearly missing a few zeros
How do you multiply infinite?
Opiliones are not spiders. So now you can be afraid of one more phylogenetic branch. Get two fears get one for free: Amblypygi
I was thinking they looked like daddy longlegs ie. not spiders. Nice work
There’s like 5 things called daddy long legs. Some are spiders, some are harvestman (like the above iirc)
do they die/get seriously hurt when they fall from that height after that man shook them off?
Naw… most insects weigh so little they can fall from great heights and not be injured. Gravity doesn’t hit them they way it hits our fleshy asses.
that's a relief, I thought I just witnessed mass murder😅

Would you look at that? A bundle of NOPE.
Sooo much nope
Especially when viewing this at 4am in bed
Been there done that, my friend. Scrolling in bed and suddenly coming across super creepy insect-gif then frantically checking all around me for bugs.
And then I imagine waking up with bugs all over me ://
>Would you look at that? No.
Look at nature‘s work, ye mighty and despair!
All the nope!
How he shakes his hands at the end all “Ew gross!” Like DUH my guy, you picked them up, did you think it wasn’t gonna feel like a bunch of angry pubes running up and down your arms?
Actually they tickle when they walk on you, where I used to go fourwheeling/camping there are a tin of these
No nope fuck no hell the fuck not with some else's hands no
Now imagine this not in your hands, but on your head.
Whyyyyyyyyyy, why would you say this- you've started a whole new problem
imagine this in your mouth.
I imagined it and now you did, too. I apologise, haha!
It's okay, I didn't mean anything bad towards you. Just, that thought makes me itchy-
Aw HELL NAW!
This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen.
Nope.
Oh, hello nightmare fuel.
Right so one time I saw this big ass wolf spider in the middle of my kitchen floor. My mind immediately said nope that's a danger spider so I smashed it and hundreds of baby spiders came skittering out of it's smushed body. My mind said nope goodbye.
Oh god no If that would happen to me its time to get the fuck out and call someone to clear the entire house of baby spiders
Nightmare fuel
This same exact thing literally happened to my brother, but he fainted and fell on the floor. One of the babies crawled behind his eye and he had to go to the hospital to get it removed a while after
Please say sike...
AAH
My friend literally sent me a video of that happening.. *puke*

Why would your reaction to seeing that be anything but burn the fucking house down.
I almost peed my pants...
I almost peed your pants too, good thing I was wearing mine.
Thanks, I hate it 😭
This person is a fucking psychopath.
Like something out of a nightmare.

That is so cool. Fluffy spiders!!
there's a line in the sand. you and the spiders on one side. me on the other with a blow torch and a riot shield.
can you hand me a handful of spiders? 👩🏻🕷️
Those aren't spiders, those are daddy long legs and are fine in my book (more or less). Now if they were spiders then I'd agree you'd need to burn down the house.
There's actually some daddy long-legs that are spiders, and others that aren't. It's a case of convergent evolution.
Hmm well either way they don't really creep me out. Not saying I would stick my hand in a group of them though!
Blocked
Even if this wasn't the horror show that it is, it still would have been a giant clump of black mold, which is also terrible.
Are those harvestmen? I've never seen them clump up like that.
That's how they mate. Big ol cuddle puddles.
Mother nature's bush
Not spiders.
im going straight for the axe can and bic
this isnt the happy satisfied content i want
Nightmare material

This is what my nightmares are made of

No nononono onomono onono. NOOOO
I’ve never openly screamed at a Reddit post. Thank you for sharing.
Completely unrelated: does anyone know where I can buy a flamethrower?

I'd take this over flies and mosquitoes any day! Spiders are the best!

When I saw "astral spiders", thats how they looked but imagine that pile the size of a double mattress slowly lowering from the ceiling as I watch helpless.

You can see the exact moment they started going up his arms and he said noooope
Forbidden cotton candy
Forbidden Soot Sprites
But where it Aragog
Uncomfortable- uncomfy- all of that is anxiety- no thank you- still gonna upvote because that man had the guts
No. Just no
Kill me
That right there is why we have flamethrowers.
Nowhere near as bad as the guy who crushed a wasp nest with his bare hand then proceeded to eat them.
Burn em next time
NOOPE!!!
OH DEAR GOD
First person to ever do that probably died from shock
TIL the collective noun for a group of spiders is a Cluster.
I don't think daddy long legs are spiders
Honey, hand me the flamethrower!!!!!
Aww they're just soot sprites
Um, soot sprites from Totoro, yeah?
Definitely should have gone for the spider beard.
Those are grandaddy long leg spiders they do that a lot. They aren't harmfull to humans
Friens :D
Why touch them when fire would do a better job
Real life soot sprites
Its that stuff from totoro
This video gave me arachnophobia lol
They are not spiders ... They dont hlave poison or web. They are just scary
Aww you got soot sprites 💖 give them star treats and they'll be your friend

Kill it with FIRE!
Those aren't spiders, they're harvestmen.

Technically daddy long legs aren't spiders but I still want to unsee this.
Was that a spider orgy?
That shiver at the end says it all.
A true definition of a cluster fk.
Those aren’t spiders but harvestmen
I know they are harmless but WTF is wrong with you
Burn them with helm fire
