If you have arachnophobia (a fear of spiders), be advised that this one is definitely NOT for you.
Now we all know that Malaysian jungles are filled with creepy crawlies, from centipedes to beetles. But we were surely not prepared for this.
The Earth Pictures Facebook page recently shared an image of a Malaysian earthtiger tarantula, also known by it’s scientific name Omothymus schioedtei, and we’re packing our bags to leave NOW.
Earth Pictures wrote, “A female Omothymus spider spotted in Malaysia”.
In the image, the HUGE spider could be seen surrounded by it’s babies and the situation weirdly resembled the scene from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets where Aragog appeared. It’s almost uncanny!
Considering the Omothymus spider is native to Malaysia, many have since shared their lack of desire to visit our country, now that they know of its presence.Ā
Well, it looks like we lost quite some travel points with people who hate spiders but who knows, this might open up an avenue for Harry Potter tourism. After all, wouldn’t Harry Potter fans want to visit Aragog and its family?
We’re still packing our bags though. HUGE NOPE.
