Giant poisonous tarantulas, they will bite your face off, fortunately there is a bloody civil war and massive deforestation so they are rapidly being wiped out.

In order to make sure, short of lifting off and nuking it from orbit, we need to stop the prolifeation of former doctors's offices (offices of doctors that are no longer there) as alternative habitat.  I'm pretty sure det cord would appropriately be involved in that endeavor.  And duct tape to hold the det cord in place.

stay safe.

You really have to honk off a tarantula to get it to attack a human.

That is a pretty good-looking Tarantula. 

Still pales in comparison to coconut crabs, though.

No dumb spider is gonna eat the cat.
When I was a kid I had a black cat named Thomas Hewitt Edward Cat.  It was named after a TV character ....one time I pointed out  a spider crawling up a wall to T.H.E. Cat.
The cat ate the spider.   The WHOLE thing.
