00:00In a garden, there is a hidden spider web

00:06But because it's time to have breakfast

00:12They are coming out one by one

00:24In the town of Norsena in Quezon, you can see the Sandamucal River

00:31Their target today

00:38is nothing but plants

00:43One of them is eagerly looking for food

00:51But while on the way

00:53Suddenly

00:58Someone is approaching

01:01A spider

01:04Suddenly it stopped moving and looked at them

01:12Until it attacked it

01:16It's small, but the spider felt the sting of the spider

01:24The spider's claws are sharp

01:32That's why it was attacked

01:36But it ran away

01:45It followed a spider, determined to look for food

01:54Until it reached the paradise it was looking for

02:04This is a jackpot for the spider

02:07Because it has no predators

02:12It uses its claw or hook

02:18as a hook for the plant

02:21Now it's time to eat

02:32Within a week, the spider can eat the leaves of a whole plant

02:45While the spider is enjoying its food

02:50Its other companion

02:52is being attacked by the spiders

02:56This spider is no longer able to resist the hungry spiders

03:03The spider is now weak

03:07That's why it is slowly being carried to the spider colony

03:12Using its mandible or sharp claw

03:15The spider is cutting the spider's hair to make it easier to carry

03:25In this scene, the spiders look like villains

03:30But the truth is, they serve as a checkpoint to balance the environment

03:37Not all furries are friendly

03:41In the town of Lucena, they are not only seen in plants and trees

03:48Because there are several houses that are being attacked by spiders

03:54Why are there so many spiders here?

03:57One day, they were just there

03:59Then, because I was holding on to the gate

04:02Actually, it entered inside the house

04:05I was trying to kill it because it might bite the two dogs

04:10But when I saw them, I couldn't hold on to them

04:14Next to Lucian's house is a vacant lot that is full of plants

04:20From there, the spiders are slowly coming towards them

04:27And in the corners of their house

04:29You can see a few pupae or a cocoon or a case

04:35Where the spider will become a moth

04:41Here, it looks like they have a hive

04:44Sometimes, it's hard for me to enter because I have to avoid them

04:48There, it's walking again

04:52To avoid being bitten

04:55Lucian just killed it so that it won't be able to enter the house

05:00Aside from the number of spiders, the number of visitors to them is also large

05:05There it is, it's bigger

05:08There are a lot of them here

05:12No matter where you look, there are still many spiders

05:16Even though it's a pet dog, it suddenly moves around because of the spider

05:21Because sometimes, it doesn't know that it's next to it or it's already bitten

05:28It's a little scary, especially if you have kids

05:31That would otherwise don't know what they are

05:35They can be exposed

05:37It's also scary

05:38If you get close to their pupae, you can expect to get bitten

05:46It's like you're just walking around here

05:48And you suddenly get bitten

05:53And the plants here are almost gone

05:57But you can see that this plant is almost destroyed

06:01They are a moth caterpillar

06:03In their caterpillar stage, they have nothing to do but eat

06:10When they grow up and stop eating, they will become pupae

06:15And after a few days, a moth will come out of the pupae

06:24There are also a lot of plants around the house that can be eaten

06:29According to the residents here, they have just experienced seeing a lot of moths

06:36I was surprised because it's my first time seeing this

06:40But I know that there are basil, but I just experienced that there are a lot of them

06:44And they are really big

06:47Not only in Lucena, you can feel the moths

06:51Because in San Ildefonso in Bulacan, there are students who have been bitten five times in their school

06:57There's a mosquito there

06:59In the video and portrait, you can see the intense redness and swelling of her skin

07:05As a freshman student, we were excited to go to our campus

07:09We were wondering where we could go

07:11Then we saw a spot with a shed in our campus

07:14We took a rest there with our friends

07:17Then later, my body started to itch

07:22There, I saw inside my clothes that there are moths

07:26I took a class in the afternoon and I was really itchy

07:30Suddenly, the moths fell on my clothes

07:35By August, the moths' season

07:39Usually, these moths are present throughout the year

07:42What happens is because it's the onset of the rainy season every August

07:46They are looking for shelter

07:49Because they are about to pupate

07:52So that they won't get wet in the rain

07:54They go inside the houses

07:57So that they can pupate there

07:59Sometimes in the kitchen, under the tables

08:02They are really seen more often in August

08:06Because the interaction of humans with these moths is more frequent

08:14The itching and swelling caused by the moths

08:17Is the effect of the so-called setae

08:19Or their hair on the body

08:23So what we can see in those projections

08:25Those are like tiny bristle-like hairs

08:28That are actually attached to their skin

08:31And into the glands

08:34More like quills on porcupines and hedgehogs and all that

08:39When they attach to the skin

08:41They will release a toxin

08:44That will create an anaphylactic reaction

08:47An allergic reaction

08:48To avoid danger due to the itching

08:53It's important to know the first aid

08:56If it gets attached to our skin

08:58So the first thing to do if you get itch or itch

09:01You should remove it with tweezers or pliers

09:05Don't use your hands or bare hands

09:08To remove the itch

09:09You can also use adhesive tape

09:11And pull it right away

09:13To strip off the tiny hairs

09:17Then wash the affected area

09:20With clean water and soap

09:23And use a cold compress

09:25Or pain relievers

09:27For the itch and itch

09:28Caused by the itch

09:32Even if they suddenly get itchy and itch

09:35We are the ones who can avoid the places

09:38Where they multiply
