[–]Skizot_Bizot 9 points10 points ago

The wings are the same picture flipped.

[–]mr_sardonicus 5 points6 points ago

Uh, wings are symmetrical

[–]A_Hole_Sandwich 2 points3 points ago

Scorpion Flies choose their mates based on the symmetry of their wings, I would assume it is the same for flyingspidersatanspawn.

[–]Schildpatt 1 point2 points ago

Of course, it's just a picture.

[–]The_Pony_Rapist -1 points0 points ago

A picture of what?

[–]Schildpatt 2 points3 points ago

What's wrong with you? Read the comments, it's a shopped spider.

[–]dark_not_evil 0 points1 point ago

I ended up turning my computer sideways and kept my finger on backspace, just in case.

[–]amkingdom 1 point2 points ago

Hah, I remember when that was first posted. I had some fun with that and caused some mild panic. Made fake news articles and everything.

[–]CharredCereus 1 point2 points ago

That's really realistic looking, I love it!

Am I the only person who thinks flying spiders would be awesome? I mean, spiders already use ballooning, so it's not like they can't get you anyway. And while flying venemous spiders would certainly be an acceptable excuse for nuking the entire planet, flying tarantulas would make epic pets.

[–]jableshables 32 points33 points ago

[–]TrentCronin 4 points5 points ago

That's just a braves fan watching Chipper screw up on his last game.

[–]farawaycircus 1 point2 points ago

Chipper still plays? I was never into Baseball, but I collected the cards as a kid cos people kept giving their old cards. I started collecting them for their monetary value, and Chipper Jones was always a valuable card. I used to have one made from the wood of a bat.. sold it for $80.00 and bought a gameboy advanced :P

[–]Omnipotent_Hamster 44 points45 points ago

Find me a better article to prove this....please be fake.

[–]spicewoman 37 points38 points ago

Cursory internets search turned up nada, I think you're safe. Also looks shooped as hell and would never fly.

[–]This_isR2Me 27 points28 points ago

Those who have seen the flider do not live long enough to report (additional) articles on it

[–]Roboticide 3 points4 points ago

They've also evolved to intentionally looked "photoshopped" as a defense mechanism. You can't be hunted if nobody believes you're real.

[–]MadHatter69 6 points7 points ago

I wish you hadn't said that.

[–]Hasteman 2 points3 points ago

They only found the camera with the picture on it. No sign of the flider or the small child who owned the camera.

[–]Ananasboat 2 points3 points ago

Well, I mean, OBVIOUSLY it's shooped.

You can see the fucking pixels!

[–]avon22889 0 points1 point ago

I advanced googled and found a gliding spider. It's about the size of a recluse and as skinny as a widow.

It's most assuredly fake. I guarantee it. You can go to sleep now.

I for one welcome our new winged spider overlords.

[–]AhWarlin 2 points3 points ago

Simpsons always gets an upvote!

[–]afrolocke 2 points3 points ago

Actually, there are spiders with wings, e.g. the peacock spider, but it isn't capable of flight. As its name implies, it uses its wings to attract females.

[–]badonkeyshow 2 points3 points ago

That's one handsome spider.

[–]ElMandrake 0 points1 point ago

...until its population is large enough to start flying and dominate Earth

[–]afrolocke 0 points1 point ago

Aww... but it's so cute. It'd never harm any people ):

[–]Frilla 1 point2 points ago

I seriously just spit coke everywhere. This is the Funniest fucking thing ever. But it would probably kill me. :(

[–]afrolocke 0 points1 point ago

Nah, they're too tiny to harm humans. Anyways, here's how they attract females.

Cross-posting to r/atheism, because if this exists, there is certainly NO GOD.

Bullshit. This better be Bullshit...

Seriously...

[–]modernwitch 7 points8 points ago

What is it? Its 1am and I'm scared to click it :(

[–]Thefailtrain 15 points16 points ago

Dont click on it if you are afraid of things popping out at you. It's a GIF of an alien thing. As the guy holding the camera turns around a corner, it jumps down from the building it was on (mabye a farm house?) and lunges at the guy with the camera. Whatever it was got so close to the camera that all you could see were it's eyes. Then it ends. This all happens at night btw.

[–]ILoveBooksAndMen 3 points4 points ago

I'm glad you made something less scary than what it actually was. Good Guy Thefailtrain lets redditors have good night of sleep.

[–]Hasteman 2 points3 points ago

Nothing like thinking of a spider while trying to sleep. Even the slightest movement suddenly becomes spiders.

Whelp, time to set the world on fire. I'd like to say we had a pretty good run, but, you've read the history books.

[–]yingkaixing 1 point2 points ago

But I don't want to set the world on fire...

I'll be crying in a corner for the rest of the night.

[–]nerd_with_no_fedora 1 point2 points ago

Now if only it could scream while it flys around you...

[–]CharredCereus 0 points1 point ago

There are two-inch long ants which deliberately drop on you from trees and scream as they attack you, if you need some actually real nightmare fuel.

I mean they live in the amazon and you'll probably never see one but still. Sweet dreams!

[–]aspireS 1 point2 points ago

About 4 nights ago had a dream with...flying spiders :/

[–]ShioriCZ 2 points3 points ago

That's some really bad photoshop...

[–]unicorn_zombie -1 points0 points ago

The shadow around everything except the wings makes this particularly believable.

Is this a still from that show?

[–]OzKFodrotski 0 points1 point ago

I don't think so, but it immediately came to mind. Probably a more recent photoshop.

Also, I can't seem to find a screen or clip of this from Sliders, but they're even more imposing than the OP, if memory serves.

[–]FireballWhisky 3 points4 points ago

next they'll be armed and have guns, 21/12/12 anyone?

[–]mr_sardonicus 2 points3 points ago

We have a European here ladies and gents

[–]H00PSHER 4 points5 points ago

Now imagine it, your sitting on your couch, watching tv. You look behind you because you thought you heard a noise. You look back, A 4 foot FLIDER is staring you into your eyes into the deepest part of your soul. One move and it jumps on your face. What the hell would you do? REPLY

[–]thedersy1 3 points4 points ago

Give your body readily, don't struggle, and beg for it to be gentle.

Turn around, drop my pants and relax because i know I'm fucked if I struggle or not!!

[–]Frilla 1 point2 points ago

I would look back into its soul. Wait until It makes it's move then Strike back at it at the same time with a full fledged headbutt and hope it kills this demon spawn.

Deer fly D:

Take a look at this little bundle of joy! They're called deer fly in English and are actually six legged insects, but they kind of resemble OP's picture. Also, if you ever encounter one (or more likely - it encounters you) he'll fly down towards you, grab onto some hair, then suck your blood and lay eggs. In the process of sucking your blood it's sheds is wings because he ain't going nowhere..
