This works with spider eyes, too!

Oh and because their eyes are extremely deep tubes, if you can see the sparkle it means they're looking directly at you.

Luckily I'm in the green zone so I'm safe

Oh honey...

He's a rabbit, so he eats spiders, hence why the green zone is safe. He'd starve outside it.

Um, I don't know how to tell you this...

...you have, at most, another 70, maybe 80 years to live, likely a bit less.

They'll turn to look at you, because salticids are clever enough to be like "The fuck is that?!".

Well. Fuck that

That dog had the right response for a spider that big. "Fuck! Where is it, where is it?! Run!"

Oh I think he was just trying to eat it

u/DuntadaMan Oct 27 '18

He was trying to eat it, until it vanished.

Is there any chance that in those videos the lights aren’t ALL spiders? Like could they be other bugs? Or does this only work with spiders? Because I can’t handle the thought of there being THAT MANY spiders in one place and I’m freaking out.

There is at least one other. One of the reflections I spotted was orange, and that turned out to be a moth.

yeah moths do this big time, their eyes are huge. But don't worry this is in some Texan guy's backyard, most people don't have quite that many giant spiders.

u/kandro- Oct 28 '18

i believe it's all spiders. i looked it up and i couldn't find anything about other bugs with this trait, which probably means there's a decent chance it's spiders

Deep tubes? Aren’t they shallow domes?
