@DustinB3403 I bet they do wonders in Austrailia. Then again there are spiders that eat birds there.

@wirestyle22 Why does such a spider exist?
Nature is freaky! That's cool but scary as shit at the same time.
I'd have to hunt it with buck shot.

I wonder if that spider is the origin for zenomorphs from Alien.
Like what the hell!

@DustinB3403 read up on Japanese Giant Hornets. Nature is insane.
I was reading the other day that Japanese honey bees have an interesting defense mechanism. They just mob the hornet and start vibrating to increase the heat. The hornet has a slightly lower threshold for heat exhaustion/death then the honey bees do, so the mob heats up the hornet to the point where it has a heat stroke.

That's africanised bees I think. It's super interesting. Watched a documentary about this a few years back. Could be wrong though. Human memory etc

They produce more honey but haven't evolved in the same environment as the Japanese Giant Hornet or the Japanese honey bees. So they don't have the same defense mechanism.
