I've found spiders on grapes a number of times - one time a black widow......

I always check my fruit, and prefer to buy "local" as much as possible.

Legend is this is why you should never bring bananas on a fishing trip.

As long is it isn't a Brazilian Wandering Spider, smash that thing and get to making some banana pudding!

My dad managed the produce department of a grocery store for about 20 years and he often found huge spiders in boxes of bananas (usually dead).

Yikes!

It's no surprise though, apparently majority of abroad places they harvest bananas, like Brazil, you often find what they call a Wondering Spider which is highly venomous.

one thing about this though (and i am not a non-believer, especially with a whopping huntsman still on the kitchen floor), why were they filming a banana? and that banana?

they just happened to have a camera and decided to film that banana and out popped the spider?

even if you thought you saw a movement, the odds would be it is a worm or something similar. you could film for three days and bugger all would happen.

there is something too odd here.

Ok guys from the land down under . Is this guy poisonous?

doesn't say it is one of ours.

if it is a wandering spider, then yes. would not be fun to be bitten. poison quite deadly but very small mouth so hard to inject much and apparently they can dry bite - as in not inject poison. one effect is apparently severe and extremely uncomfortable priapism. but there are deaths.

if a huntsman, and could be as hundreds of different species, then a little. uncomfortable but not likely to kill.

but i still find something odd re the clip. how did it get in there? why didn't it go out the same way? they don't feed on banana so why go in there in the first place and what did it eat while in there? i've never heard of anything like it before.

Apparently the venom can kill in as little as 2 hours...

I was having a coffee this morning before getting ready for work and was looking at the bunch of bananas in the fruit bowl....waiting for some kind of movement lookaround.gif

I think I started to go cross eyed looking at each banana , I had to walk away rotfl.gif
