Default I know what it is!

Couldn't help myself, had to find out what this freak was. It's a species of huntsman spiders, one of the largest. Anyways, not a very pleasant bunch they are. If you know anything about the recluse family, the bite from one of these huntsman's could cause(maybe not as severe as a recluse) Necrotising Arachnidism: Progressive ulceration and loss of skin around the site of a biting by a number of araneomorph spider species. Its cause is uncertain and for this reason no fully effective treatments are available at the present time. Here's a link if anyone is interested in these creeepy crawlers :screwy: :loco:
8 eyed freak



Here's what Nerotising Arachnidism can do, this person eventually had to have their leg amputated just below the knee


A couple more for your viewing pleasure(different victim)






Gimme a kiss!
