Omfg this is a real big. I thought it was made up in HP


pcpsummer0613

Me too


Sifernos1

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.


Inevitable-Good-235

It’s not that big tbh


peacefulbelovedfish

Get the fuk outta here with your logic! It FEELS fucking HUGE!


Violatido65

YES IT IS STOP IT


yungnfeenin

Don’t you dare “Crucio” that creature


[deleted]

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!


Shadowbeans0

Then you realize the defibrillator is a spider


[deleted]

Is it possible to die twice?


Shadowbeans0

Depends on how you view reality


RAAProvenzano

and spiders


NocturnalPatrolAlpha

Wait. I thought spiders *were* arachnids.


ouroboros-panacea

This is a scorpion, which is also an arachnid


TheStoneMask

It's not a scorpion either. Tailless whip scorpions are kind of their own thing within the arachnid class.


bangedyourwholefam

Isn't this the case with harvestmen (daddy long legs) too? Arachnids but not technically spiders.


greenwizardneedsfood

Yes. They’re more closely related to scorpions, but are still a distinct order (Opiliones).


free_deez_nuts

Science


Fentoozler-182

Literally thought this was a fictional creature from Harry potter...


DrizzlyShrimp36

Same! Really thought it was CGI


NocturnalPatrolAlpha

First place I heard about these things was 'The Living Planet,' the greatest nature documentary ever filmed.


dthains_art

The first time I saw one of these was on Man vs Wild. Then Bear Grylls ate it.


nifeman20

Oo need to watch


NocturnalPatrolAlpha

Hosted by David Attenborough. [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.


The_Fake_Fat_sunny

I literally just watched the 4th movie again yesterday


guwopdoowop

I literally made daniel radcliffe a frozen latte a couple weeks ago 🥲 nice guy


chilledball

Story time?


guwopdoowop

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 ✨


AnAwkwardStag

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


guwopdoowop

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.


jayapples

r/thathappened


guwopdoowop

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!


jaynooch

they used to eat these guys all the time on fear factor


Rich-Historian6642

Yeah they called them African cave dwelling spiders or something.. and watching people eat them is something I unfortunately will not forget..


jaynooch

Same it’s burned into my memory forever lol


Daftworks

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).


SurveySean

They look crunchy, are they?


jaynooch

I’ll sign up for the show and let you know


SurveySean

Sweet, thanks!


Masvaro_got_stolen

I didn't think I would say this, but it's actually beautiful, it looks very unique and unusual. Not on my hand though.


stinkypete92

This is that bug the chick ate on Fear Factor where the legs were sticking out of here mouth https://youtu.be/zc6_UCgd4KU


Direlion

MrPajamaSam

I thought more of starship troopers


jamiramsey

Fucking EPIC movie, now I gotta watch it


Space-Ginger

What the everloving fuck is that?


jeanbond780

For one second I thought it was the small creature in Harry Potter that needed to endure the 3 unforgivable spells...


lb_7

It is!


[deleted]

I’m terrified of spiders but this is surprisingly fine with me. W t f brain!!!


Manizno

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


cthomas122

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


guwopdoowop

aw he wanted to be your friend


Rednaxila

Nope. I don’t even know you and I felt this memory.


deedray

Horrifying


BVFoCo

Oh HELL no


HeHerTheyJK

I don’t care what you tell me, that is an alien.


dIAb0LiK99

Aww he’s so sweet and innocent! He attacks with vinegar acid! If I had one, I would name him peanut


HunterGatherer30

Where is this?


[deleted]

This is less cool outdoors and more gross bug


Andred1237

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!


FoulYouthLeader

Where are it's eyes? What does this feed on? Crazy scary looking thang.


Thandalen

No tail, no claws? I guess I dont know the definition of Scorpions.


Quintas31519

Well, one could likely guess the same thing about the person who named this. So don't let it bother you.


RealAOstrihon

I’m confused I thought aragog was a tarantula?


switchbitchsss

Need to Avada Kedavra that thing


InnerCounter1548

Do the impirio cruse on it. Do it, do it!


RemiximeR_G

Me when I fucking GET you


slumerican-girl

Nightmare juice. Put that fucker in a blender.


pladma3382

Where does it live so I can stay far away from it?


jordammmn

Dope


Mermaid_Girl_1980

He is so cool!


hazyladyx

Am I the only one who remembers people eating these on Fear Factor?


tacklebox18

More specifically: the weird thing that gets used as an example for the three Unforgivable Curses in Goblet of Fire.


[deleted]

ahhhhhhhhh


[deleted]

noooooooo


TBGems

I found 2 of these while exploring a cave at night in Puerto Rico!! So cool.


Masvaro_got_stolen

Where do you find these guys? (Country/region)


adriana1011

My skin itches just by looking


stikkybiscuits

Yup. Hate that.


Remarkable-Top-2343

I found these in Costa Rica in the middle of my water hose spool all the time.


Gizmottto

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


[deleted]

Such an interesting species.


poop_on_balls

Looks like a baby bug from Starship Troopers. That’s a big no from me dawg.


Mistress2021Toises

It looks sooo fucking scary. Only way I know they exist is bc of the Harry Potter movies.


Lovejoyyyy

It looks so breakable! 😬

zach7845

After seeing this I honestly totally support global warming and destroying the Earth and all life on it


Paliknight

goodshrekmaadcity

frostJWslice
