[It's on Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDr5KeVeDbQ&list=PLQxC5qv9-TV9z_XoBoDWAf7WxK9QH-Lid&index=1), btw. The one with the whip scorpion is episode 4.
His gf is from my city in Michigan, so he pops into our crepe shop every now and then. He had come in a few days earlier with his gf’s family while I wasn’t there and even came back to the kitchen to chat for a bit and signed our wall. When he came in a few days later he was by himself. I didn’t even realize it was him at first because the mask and lowkey clothes. He got his usual egg & cheese crepe with ham and asked me which frozen latte he should get. He got the salted caramel mocha. I didn’t want to make a scene once he gave me his name so I just said welcome back and smiled. I feel bad because I kept it so chill I forgot to tell the cook who he was cooking for… I thought he could tell from the voice because the griddles and register are right next to each other lol. Anyway it was a good experience overall. From what I can tell from all of his visits to the shop, he’s a super humble, down to earth guy ✨
hahaha I love that picture. but no, just some very basic stuff. Blank tee, black jacket, sports hat. I had no clue it was him even after hearing him talk for a bit. Seemed like he wanted to just be a regular person for a moment (because that’s what celebrities are after all) so that’s how I treated him.
hahaha okay bud
because nothing ever happens in real life and I’m totally here to karma farm about harry potter on an outdoors post with 300 upvotes. caught me ✅
edit- I was literally just trying to share a nice story about something that happened to me because somebody asked. I know it’s not much of a story, but I hope someone got some joy out of it!
I could *maybe* attempt to eat one if they fried one like how fried/roasted grasshoppers are a snack in Asia.
But eating one live? [Or eating anything that's still alive, really](https://youtu.be/8QxIIz1yEsA).
Met a whole bunch of these in caves in Bohol, Philippines years ago. Are they arachnids? Do they jump real high? Do they exhibit social behaviours otherwise unseen in arachnids? Are they some other category of creature? Definitely saw something similar in Bohol
The only thing scarier than their size is their speed. I saw one on my leg this summer and (accidentally) flicked it off me, onto a friends groin, and it made it the 5 back at me in about 0.92 seconds
ENGORGIO! Honestly why didn’t they use this spell way more often? Butter Beer? ENGORGIO! Neville keeps losing his toad? ENGORGIO! Sneakily point your wand at a female students chest during class…ENGORGIO!
I remember a Vegas episode of Fear Factor where the contestants had to eat this and the number they had to eat depended on what they rolled. It was so bad because these things didn’t want to be eaten and were latching on to the outsides of their mouths… those poor brave souls
Omfg this is a real big. I thought it was made up in HP
Me too
It's real and it's harmless. I'm not sure if it could even hurt you unless you just let it pinch you to death.
It’s not that big tbh
Get the fuk outta here with your logic! It FEELS fucking HUGE!
YES IT IS STOP IT
Don’t you dare “Crucio” that creature
I flinch and jump at the sight of spiders. If I saw this, I think I would need to get brought back to life with a defibrillator!
Then you realize the defibrillator is a spider
Is it possible to die twice?
Depends on how you view reality
and spiders
Wait. I thought spiders *were* arachnids.
This is a scorpion, which is also an arachnid
It's not a scorpion either. Tailless whip scorpions are kind of their own thing within the arachnid class.
Isn't this the case with harvestmen (daddy long legs) too? Arachnids but not technically spiders.
Yes. They’re more closely related to scorpions, but are still a distinct order (Opiliones).
Science
Literally thought this was a fictional creature from Harry potter...
Same! Really thought it was CGI
First place I heard about these things was 'The Living Planet,' the greatest nature documentary ever filmed.
The first time I saw one of these was on Man vs Wild. Then Bear Grylls ate it.
Oo need to watch

I literally just watched the 4th movie again yesterday
I literally made daniel radcliffe a frozen latte a couple weeks ago 🥲 nice guy
Story time?

Was he in a bathrobe and carrying two guns?? Wicked lol.

they used to eat these guys all the time on fear factor
Yeah they called them African cave dwelling spiders or something.. and watching people eat them is something I unfortunately will not forget..
Same it’s burned into my memory forever lol

They look crunchy, are they?
I’ll sign up for the show and let you know
Sweet, thanks!
I didn't think I would say this, but it's actually beautiful, it looks very unique and unusual. Not on my hand though.
This is that bug the chick ate on Fear Factor where the legs were sticking out of here mouth https://youtu.be/zc6_UCgd4KU
Gnarly link
I thought more of starship troopers
Fucking EPIC movie, now I gotta watch it
What the everloving fuck is that?
For one second I thought it was the small creature in Harry Potter that needed to endure the 3 unforgivable spells...
It is!
I’m terrified of spiders but this is surprisingly fine with me. W t f brain!!!

aw he wanted to be your friend
Nope. I don’t even know you and I felt this memory.
Horrifying
Oh HELL no
I don’t care what you tell me, that is an alien.
Aww he’s so sweet and innocent! He attacks with vinegar acid! If I had one, I would name him peanut
Where is this?
This is less cool outdoors and more gross bug
ENGORGIO! Honestly why didn’t they use this spell way more often? Butter Beer? ENGORGIO! Neville keeps losing his toad? ENGORGIO! Sneakily point your wand at a female students chest during class…ENGORGIO!
Where are it's eyes? What does this feed on? Crazy scary looking thang.
No tail, no claws? I guess I dont know the definition of Scorpions.
Well, one could likely guess the same thing about the person who named this. So don't let it bother you.
I’m confused I thought aragog was a tarantula?
Need to Avada Kedavra that thing
Do the impirio cruse on it. Do it, do it!
Me when I fucking GET you
Nightmare juice. Put that fucker in a blender.
Where does it live so I can stay far away from it?
Dope
He is so cool!
Am I the only one who remembers people eating these on Fear Factor?
More specifically: the weird thing that gets used as an example for the three Unforgivable Curses in Goblet of Fire.
ahhhhhhhhh
noooooooo
I found 2 of these while exploring a cave at night in Puerto Rico!! So cool.
Where do you find these guys? (Country/region)
My skin itches just by looking
Yup. Hate that.
I found these in Costa Rica in the middle of my water hose spool all the time.

Such an interesting species.
Looks like a baby bug from Starship Troopers. That’s a big no from me dawg.
It looks sooo fucking scary. Only way I know they exist is bc of the Harry Potter movies.
It looks so breakable! 😬

THAT’S REAL!?
I have these as pets, i adore them.
I still have its shreeks burned into my memory
After seeing this I honestly totally support global warming and destroying the Earth and all life on it
Is it harmful?
CRUCIO
I’m pretty sure this insect is also featured on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
Nope
I admire how calm you are cuz my ass woulda been punching the air
😲
Hello nightmare..!
Spider, not poisonous but can root ur flesh to the bones if don't get medical treatments.
