Spider.

This picture is very disturbing. I would not want spider's and a stick that close to my mouth. Eating and chewing a crunchy black spider is an unappealing thought. The man is crazier than a 8 year old who has drink en a whole monster if he is going to eat those spiders. I would throw up if I had to be that near to those spiders. I'm throughly confused of this man, why would he ever want to eat spiders? The spiders might still have poison in them why would you digest that. This should be uneatable.
