Fun fact: these spiders sometimes show up in banana shipments all over the world. Most of the time, they're quite dead by the time they arrive at a grocery store produce department. But on very rare occasions, they manage to survive the insecticides, water baths, and chilling of processing and shipping and arrive alive and kicking at their destinations. One got loose in a supermarket in Oklahoma back in 2009. Another made it into some unfortunate person's kitchen somewhere in the UK just a few years ago. Said person spotted the spider crawling out of a bunch of bananas they had just bought, just before it skittered away and disappeared. Anyway, that's your fun fact for the day.

I love these interviews you do with people that have been attacked or harmed by animals (like that really cool woman that got death rolled by a crocodile), because it really helps to demystify the fears that people have about dangerous creatures. Some people might have a fear of these animals that goes beyond just being wary or cautious and turns to hate for them- and these help to show that while yes it's good to leave these dangerous creatures alone, it's not a death sentence if you do end up being attacked by them.

@Fable Vulpes Exactly! Here in Sydney, we have the Sydney funnel-web, who shares the dubious honour with the Brazilian wandering spider of being the most dangerous spiders on the planet. These spiders are DEADLY and people should make no mistake about that! Once our children were playing barefoot in the driveway and noticed, almost hidden amongst the little stones that are within the concrete, a small black spider on the ground where they were playing, which on inspection turned out to be a baby funnel-web (also deadly, not just the adults). We also have the redback, which is almost identical to the Black Widow, and these are *everywhere*, plus some other nasties like the white-tailed spider whose bites are associated with necrosis and people have lost limbs to it (had one of these come inside in my washing basket on one occasion and fall out of the clothes I was folding, my sister in law was bitten by one...) What's more, having other less harmful spiders around provides a source of food for some of the bigger or more dangerous hunting spiders, so it is a bad idea here to have any spiders around, especially when you have children as we do. Some people feel safe by telling themselves there is no danger. I feel safe by knowing and teaching our children how to avoid the danger, what to do in the case of a bite, and reducing the risk by keeping spiders out of our yard. The right first aid and administration of anti-venom when it is required are the reason we would almost certainly survive a funnel-web bite, despite how deadly the venom is.

Right, I had the same thought/reaction. That topic of having a drug interaction due to the medical study almost deserves a video/investigation on its own.

This is ongoing without much media interest/reporting or transparency. I sure hope that in this specific case they took the proper care and precautions because they had real concern due to possibility of drug interactions, than could have been harmful to the poor man…rather than it being a “the data is more important than a human life”-type of deal… Outside of that, this was a great interview and a fascinating story, feeling a lot of empathy towards this man and his family… being exposed to such danger(s) in everyday life!

One of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my life was a huge cockroach bouncing out of a box of bananas on to a crowded produce floor. The customers went flipping nuts but my boss came in (with size 15 wingtips) to stomp the 3” roach. The only thing is, he was a little drunk, and he missed. The startled cockroach immediately ran to the darkest spot possible-up his pant leg! I have never seen a bigger human commotion than that in my life! While reaction from the crowd went from stunned silence to panic, my boss almost managed to take his pants off-over his head! We ran to him quickly and got things under control but, in over 40 years I’ve never laughed that hard!

I love spiders and I break them down into four basic types: 1) Cutie-Pies 2) You just won't see them 3) Look, but leave them alone to be spiders 4) Oh, that might be an issue In the first is your jumping-spiders, the cutest of all the "little things that move"..except weevils, nothing beats weevils. In the UK we get mostly the tiny "zebra" jumping-spider and they are cute beyond belief, you can actually get them to look at you by holding your finger over the light-source but not near them, you do that a few times in sequence and they try to work out the source. Which sounds bananas, but they are the group of insanely-clever spiders. They "learn"..the "Portia" is the one of those that tests have yet to determine it's intelligence because we worked out that it was responding to our tests, so it becomes null-and-void....you can't measure it's natural intelligence if the test itself restricts the whole point of the damn test. The second group contains the water-spiders and bubble-spiders and I'm yet to see one of those. Amongst those are the tiny "flower-crab spiders" and some of them are stunning. I have seen a few in the UK, in various colours, and my best spot was a little pink one. Stunning. Another one that I doubt I will ever see in the wild is the "Ladybird Spider" I will leave a link below on this one as we do have them in the UK but the control on where they are is tighter than trying to park a jumbo-jet on a dartboard. Special mention here goes to the "woodlouse hunters" which look like the thing from "Predator" but are very much allowed into your home. The clue is in the name, as they say. The third group is basically any spider, really..any animal, in a sense...for example, a few years ago there was an example of the steatoda-nobilis/ "false-widow" living in the utility-box at my parents' house...those legs peeking out, the colouring and shape of those "creepy legs" is unmistakable once you know what you are seeing, obviously I had two thoughts in my head "how did one of them get so far North it's in Scotland?..Well, let's not annoy her by trying to entice her out, once the cold comes in, she's done, pretty though..." Unless ...*dang-dang-gdang* ...what if she was the messenger of the spider-army about to take over our entire nation?!!! Yeah, doesn't really work like that with spiders, they can't really move much beyond their territory. Their limbs work on hydraulics without the "natural anti-freeze" that ants have..basically, in a "cold-snap" their limbs explode, which is why the mygalamorphs came way later, really, and we are yet to pin down why something that is basically a spider started to burrow, be around trees. Logically it makes sense, given what I said about their limbs exploding in cold, I'll leave further study to better-read folks than I.. The fourth and final...yeah...this is very tricky to parse...the "Brazilian Wanderer" is, to mind, the only spider that has enough punch to drop all people. There might be something even more effective in terms of venom, but it's really hard to study as most spiders just won't bite you. Spiders are one of the least aggressive species on the planet, you really have to force them into biting you...except the "Thai Earth-Tiger" which is seriously aggressive, but again, Her venom isn't really significant, it's just that She doesn't want you anywhere near her, I refer you back to my Third Point. In final. It's very, very rare to find an arachnid that actually has a "dead-drop" venom. There are some species that carry a serious-bolt, like the "death-stalker", but again, it's more about the response to the injury than the bite itself. To finalise this point. Spiders don't really carry enough venom to kill you as fast as their prey. They can, if put into a "defense position" dump all of that venom into you, and that will cost them their lives, potentially...now think about what you did by disobeying my precept of Rule 3, this could have not happened at all. The most serious injuries from spiders are not the neuro-toxic ones but the "flesh-breakers", the ones that make your skin start to break down and the biggest problem with this is not the venom from the spider, but trying to track and respond to the new and interesting bacteria on the chelicerae of the damn thing we thought bit you. Leave the spiders alone, they are not something to be scared of, they are totally fascinating.

That interpreting was fantastic to watch Clint!

What a harrowing story. I am very happy that Ronald is making a complete recovery

Look at Clint being an extraordinary interviewer in another language and translating it on the spot without any help... I speak some Spanish and could not do this, but also I noticed several times where they were speaking about concepts instead of actual words, quite likely because Ronald Ronald a rural man and doesn't always need to be specific w his words, but Clint got the concept and found the words in Spanish and then in English for us. Quite impressive. Also I'm brasilian and woke up many times in the middle of the night to go potty and went back to bed instead because there was one in the bathroom lol Thank you for this

I've been trying to speak Spanish for years as it is my maternal grandfather's mothertongue and this video re-inspired me to keep trying. P.S. Super random; your name is pretty.

I've heard that the Brazilian Wandering Spider can actually bite through fingernails and through leather boots and gloves. They are lethal, aggressive spiders that bite with little provocation. And they run fast and will actually jump onto you. An old book called "Man is the Prey", from my childhood, mentioned that if you swat at a Brazilian Wandering Spider with a broom, it has been known to run up the broom stick and bite your hand. The book also mentioned a scientist studying venomous spiders, I believe the Brazilian Wandering Spider in particular, who told an interviewer that in his laboratory you would hear little "clicking" noises, which turned out to be the venomous spiders stabbing their fangs into the glass walls of their terrariums whenever they saw somebody walk by.

Amazing Clint.. well done

This is great translation Clint!

Spiders used to scare me as a kid, so my uncle suggested I watch a spider documentary to realize they're neat. Banana spiders were in that documentary, and I have been petrified of spiders (except for fuzzy tarantulas) ever since 😖 Thank you, Clint, for translating and telling us this man's story!!

For me it was the bald spiders with big butts that were scary, and if they were black and yellow with big webs guarding the flower bed. Terrifying.

Pretty crazy. Thanks for sharing this info. It’s important to remember that the spider was just defending itself, but it would be really stressful living or working where they are so common.

so glad that the man is okay and Clint was able to translate and share his story.

Venom is some amazing biological substances. So many varieties of death! He was blessed to have survived, and he knows it.

I was just seeking information on the Brazilian Opuntia (cactus). Saw this and decided to check this out! Great Interview!!! Thank You Both 😁

Good interview . I enjoyed the story

You're a legend

how do your vids not have more views your content is rly good i watch your videos with my bearded dragon cherry

Buen trabajo Clint!! Excelente traducción! Very impressed. =)

This was a very interesting story! I'm glad to hear this guy is healing. Definitely going to subscribe to your channel!

I wonder how much research has been done on that venom as a potential treatment for ED

Aaaaand this is why I don’t eat bananas! Seriously, though this was an important and interesting video. It’s good to know exactly what one can expect if bitten by this traveling arachnid. The erectile effects lasting for years is something I’m sure many of us were unaware of and makes a possible bite from this spider even more frightening than it already was. Thank you for sharing Clint and what a wonderful job of translating on the spot! I took 2 years of Spanish in high school and started studying the language again more recently so picking out words and phrases I recognized during the video added another fun and interesting aspect for me. Thanks again! 🤘🏻☺️💕

Been waiting for this video for like 4 months now!

That was a really cool interview Clint & u speak Spanish really well. 👍🏻👍🏻

It is so nice to see someone who genuinely respects a life, be it a bug to a whale. I wish we were neighbors or something, we would be the best of friends. Keep being awesome, buddy 💚

Clint your Spanish is very good 👍🏻 one time in Costa Rica I took a picture of a wandering spider with my hand right next to it for scale, only years later did I learn how dangerous a stunt that was😅

Your Spanish understanding is quite good! :D Your translation was pretty darn good (Spanish is my first tongue) Love your content keep it up!

So glad he is recovering. His story was very interesting

I love my spiders. I keep a few tarantula species, some that I've seen make tough men tremble in agony over the sheer pain their venom induces. I dont think I could ever keep a wanderer. That certain side effect is beyond scary.

That was very good and educational, Cheer.

Most spiders are misunderstood and unnecessarily feared... and then there is the Brazillian Wandering Spider. They’re every bit as terrifying in reality as they are made out to be in the stories.

Glad this guy is doing okay. I’m recovering from 3 recluse bites on my back. I’m a pretty healthy 63 year old, but the widow Knocked me down for a couple days with stomach spasms, felt really bad. The bite areas each got about 6 inches across. I can’t imagine dealing with a wandering spider! Wow……

I wish this man, and all others dealing with similar side effects, a swift recovery! Awesome video, Clint! To those afraid of spiders-your fears are valid, though please know that an “aggressive” spider like this one is only aggressive to prey-to humans, it’s defensive! Humans are scary Attack on Titan giants to even the largest arachnids, and an outreaching hand or unknowing misstep may cause a defensive reaction (biting, ‘hair’ kicking in tarantulas, etc). That’s just to say they’re not evil. Many spiders are pestilent, absolutely-but they’ve got about two ganglia working up in that noggin. 😂 Not nearly enough for devious thoughts.

As a Peruvian myself I can just say: "Si has sobrevivido a un choricito de la tía veneno, no te mata nada" xD Fuera de broma, Clint tiene un excelente español :0

Clint, this one of your best posts...

Llevo siguiéndote mucho tiempo y ahora me entero de que hablas español! Traduces muy muy bien.

I turkey hunted in Carmelita, Guatemala a couple of times. The thatched roofs of our huts were loaded with huge spiders I recognized as Phoneutria but I didn't recognize the species. Turns out they were P. depilata, which apparently has a somewhat milder venom. Didn't matter, those things terrified me.

I asked ChatGPT something which has always fascinated me: Why are some spiders venomous enough to kill big mammals even though they can't feed on them? Is there an evolutionary explanation for this? ChatGPT The phenomenon of some spiders having venom potent enough to kill large mammals, even though they cannot feed on them, can be understood through several evolutionary concepts: Defense Mechanism: One primary reason for the evolution of potent venom in spiders is defense. Venom that can deter or kill large predators, such as birds or mammals, provides a significant survival advantage. If a spider can incapacitate or deter a threat with its venom, it increases its chances of survival and reproduction. This defensive role is especially important for smaller spiders that are more vulnerable to predation. Prey Specialization: Some spiders may have evolved potent venom to efficiently subdue their primary prey, which might include other arthropods or larger insects. In some cases, their venom's toxicity to mammals is a byproduct of its effectiveness against their usual prey. This is a form of exaptation, where a trait evolved for one purpose (prey capture) also provides an unintended benefit (defense). Evolutionary Arms Race: In ecosystems, predators and prey often engage in an evolutionary arms race, where each evolves new adaptations in response to the other. Spiders might develop more potent venom as a means to stay ahead in this arms race, ensuring they can overcome the defenses of their prey. Over time, this venom can become highly toxic, even affecting organisms outside the spider's typical prey range. Bystander Effects: The biochemical pathways involved in venom production are complex and can have broad effects. The toxins in spider venom may affect fundamental physiological processes (such as neural or cardiovascular functions) that are common across many types of animals. As a result, venom that is effective against small prey
