New Nightmare, the Hammerhead Worm

I don’t mind spiders, and I actually played with tarantulas regularly as a kid. The Hunstsman spider is a whole different ball game. The whole “I can jump at your face from 3 feet away and I’m the size of a toilet seat“ thing is beyond the pale.

It must be a primal, instinctual, fear from when our mouse-sized mammal ancestors were hunted by those things at night.

Everyone seems to be pretty ok with those guys just kinda chillin around them. I think the weather would be higher on my list of things to be afraid of in Australia
