00:07 Good evening, Kapuso!
00:09 I am your brother Kim, who will give you the trending news.
00:13 Bugtong, Bugtong!
00:15 Big chance, the fight is fierce!
00:18 It's going to be fierce!
00:19 But a rider was shocked when he saw a leaf spider and it looks like an alien.
00:25 [music]
00:27 It's huge!
00:28 A lot of people were shocked when Ariston, the content creator, caught this video.
00:32 The leaf is really behind you.
00:34 At first glance, you would think that the leaf is rolled with a dry stem.
00:38 And the stem is very soft.
00:41 Suddenly,
00:42 his guts came out.
00:44 This is another spider.
00:46 I was scared and amazed at the same time.
00:48 Because it's so different.
00:50 He called it an alien spider.
00:52 He said that he spotted it when he went to Taytay Falls in Mahihay, Laguna.
00:55 It has a different coloration, aside from the green and brown with silver.
01:00 It's orange inside with stripes.
01:02 But what kind of spider is this?
01:04 [music]
01:06 Brother Kim, are spiders really insects?
01:09 Brother Kim, what now?
01:11 Insects have six legs, a beak, and an antenna.
01:14 Spiders don't have this.
01:16 They are called arachnids and they are not part of the insect family.
01:21 Scorpions, mites, ticks, or quills are also part of the arachnids.
01:24 The fear of spiders is called arachnophobia.
01:27 As much as possible, if they can avoid people, that's what they do.
01:32 That's why most spiders have a camouflage mechanism.
01:35 They feel provoked, threatened, especially by large organisms like humans.
01:41 I thought it was a leaf.
01:42 But what kind of spider was spotted in Taytay Falls?
01:45 According to an expert,
01:46 the most unusual spider that Ariston saw was a Mohote's Moldy.
01:50 It's more known as Mohote's Rolled-Deef Spider.
01:53 During the day, they are inactive.
01:55 That's their position.
01:56 It's like they have a leaf upside down.
01:58 And when the sun goes down, the Moldy spiders are orb weavers.
02:03 They make a web that looks like a spiral wheel.
02:05 What's special about this is that it also helps them to easily camouflage themselves.
02:10 That's their way to get their food.
02:13 They don't have any other mechanism to fight.
02:15 It doesn't have any reported studies.
02:17 It has venom.
02:18 But if this is what you're afraid of,
02:20 you should be careful, especially if it's a very notorious spider.
02:23 The Sydney Funnel Web Spider that can be found in Australia
02:31 is the most notorious among all spiders.
02:34 It's considered the most dangerous and venomous of all.
02:38 It has 40 different toxic proteins.
02:42 Before the anti-venom was introduced in 1981,
02:45 only 13 people died because of this spider's bite.
02:49 Meanwhile, to find out the truth behind this viral news,
02:52 tweet or comment #KuyaKimWhatNow
02:55 Always remember, the important thing is to know.
02:58 I'm Kuya Kim and I'll answer you 24/7.
