Weta VS Tarantula: Simulation Not for Faint of Heart

The CG studio Boycraft has presented its new realistic simulation: a fight between a weta (a giant flightless cricket) and a tarantula. The goal was to make them battle using physics, and the team succeeded, although it's hard to call it a fight, bullying seems more accurate. 

The weta is heavier than the spider, so the latter tries to climb on top of the insect. If they both had the same weight, the confrontation would likely be different.

Here is the weta facing a Hercules beetle, a more even match:
