TOURISTS who spotted a sleeping ‘furry’ animal prodded the creature and got the shock of their lives.
The group were exploring in a cave bordering Alamos, Sonora in Mexico when they came across the critters.
Apparently keen to see exactly what it was, the group filmed the moment they approached the crack in the cave.
Too scared to use their hands, one gets a stick, to try and ‘wake up’ the creature.
To their surprise, hundreds of tiny spiders rushed at them for at least 20 seconds.
The insects crawled up the cave and across the ground, prompting them to run.
The video has now been liked more than 28,000 times.
One social media user tweeted: “They are called “macaques” and they are harmless, do not disturb nature no matter how much curiosity or ignorance you may have.”
Others joined in, insisting the group should have left the insects alone.
Reports of this video comes after a study, which claimed spiders are becoming more aggressive because of climate change.
Freak events like tropical cyclones could be having an evolutionary impact on spiders in storm-prone regions, which are already areas where the most aggressive spiders have the best odds of survival.
