Australian Hornet Vs. Huntsman Spider In A Fight To The Death - Who Ya Got?

And THAT’S why we don’t live in Australia despite the awesome weather, fun accents, and cool ass people.

You can hide from shitty weather and shitty people in your house in the Northeast. But you can’t hide from a venomous insect that may have crawled into your shoe or house. Surviving in Australia seems way too hard and that’s before I even mention the crocs.

Anyway, back to the fight. I will admit that I did not see that coming. The huntsman spider had the height, the reach, the weight, and the venom heading into the fight. Sure the hornet had a stinger and the power of flight, but I figured once the hornet went in for a sting, the spider would wrap him up and pump that sucker full of poison. The only way I saw the hornet winning was floating like a butterfly and stinging like a motherfucking hornet. Think of two good Street Fighter II players duking it out. The Huntsman was Zangief (a stud for SF II pros) while the hornet was Chun Li.

But the true X-Factor was the hornet flying. Shucking and jiving from the air. And if we learned anything from Revenge of the Sith, having the high ground makes all the difference in the world. Congrats to this hornet on his victory and meal. Next time I bet against a hornet in an insect fight, I am going to look back at these old tweets. I’m #done disrespect nature’s buzzsaw.
