Heteropoda Maxima: The Spider From Hell


It's not the creepiest spider in the world, but this image of a Heteropoda Maxima and its brood is one of the creepiest collections of pixels I've ever seen. I wish I had an attribution, but I can't find this outside of some random German webforum.

UPDATE: I posted this image on the xkcd forums, whose residents have been kind enough to post related images of predatory centipedes, bird-eating spiders and blankets of baby spiders. Lovers of creepy crawlies should check it out (don't worry - most of the images are in spoiler tags so you won't be confronted with them all at once.

    Stumbled upon this piece after reading a newsflash....... That's just sick enough to scare me shitless even if it was half the size and 10% of the amount of babies. And this is the nice looking one, ey? I really don't wanna see its scary counterpart. Too late. I think I did. It's my worst nightmare!
