Lol cool, that spider is rambo.

wow that's awesome

hope i never run into one of those.

that's one tough bug!

Damn that's a psycho spider

i dont think the spider would win if you dropped it onto a real fire ant's nest, but i totally thought that spider was going down

That spider went crazy.

unbelievable!!

Aints get OWNED

thats not a spider... its a solpugid aka windscorpion
the fastest moving arachnids... they dont have venom, but their bite is strong as hell...

I was always told that any bug with 8 legs was a spider. Whatever it is, it's funny-looking and crazy as hell!!!

kick ass arachnoid!

A little more info if anyone is interested...

This creature, also known as the sunspider or wind-scorpion, has the strongest jaws - relative to size -of any animal on earth.

This voracious carnivore uses those jaws to overcome everything from insects, birds and lizards to small mammals and even scorpions. Its long legs allow it to traverse its habitat at a very high rate of speed. And if food is available, a solifugid will keep eating until its abdomen is so distended that it's practically immobile.

In the Middle East, it was once rumored among American and coalition military forces stationed there that Solifugae will feed on living human flesh.

Due to their bizarre appearance and the fact that they produce a hissing sound when they feel threatened, many people are startled or even afraid of them.

They are not especially large, the biggest having a legspan of perhaps 12cm, and although they are fast on land compared to other invertebrates, the fastest can run perhaps 10 miles per hour





And we all remember this picture which made the rounds...

it only won cause it was only fighting 30 of em. If it was an entire hill of fire ants that spider would've gotten fucked up. Cool vid though, thanks!

That seemed kinda cruel to both sets of animals but that is one hardcore spider/scorpian thing!
