The insect in the video looked like a rain spider or a huntsman spider. According to the African Snakebite Institute, they are generally harmless to people, but their bite can be painful and itchy. Rain spiders can be identified by their large size, tan or dark brown colour, and long legs that help them to be fast-moving. Rain spiders can be found in pairs during mating season or when they are caring for their young.
