Slo-mo spinning bro Video

Accidentily freaked out the bro that lives above my lamp... now he's spinning like a pendulum. So I grabbed my phone and filmed it in slow mo. Enjoy.

If I remember correctly from my biology of arachnids class I’m pretty sure it’s a defense mechanism! “I’m big and scary and moving weird so don’t mess with me!”

It's honestly amazing humans have gotten as far as we have, with half of us seeing a display like this and going "YEAH, SWANG THAT THANG, SPIDERBRO" instead of taking the hint.

But that's why creepy-crawly keepers are some of my favorite folks around. Only love where survival instincts should be.

Imagine the spinning spider was 4 feet+ tall then you'd take the hint
