Skun is a must pass between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, and tourists to Cambodia generally stop here.
In October, as the new crown epidemic eased and the tourism industry in Cambodia recovered, the residents of Skun took the black spiders they had caught, pulled their fangs, and sold them at the rest station.
The spider sells for a dollar each.
Scone is called Spider Town because of its abundance of black hairy spiders. The locals call it "A Bing". The spiders are large and covered with fine hairs. The locals caught them from nearby forests and raised them. In the pothole at home.
In the rest station, the black spider is like a performer, turning around in the hands of the seller for a while, then crawling to the chest of the tourists to move at will, attracting a large number of tourists to watch.
At the rest station, there are many vendors selling fried spiders.
In the early years, local people ate insects such as spiders and crickets to resist famine and drought. In the era of food shortage, people went to the forest to prey on spiders, mice and lizards. Now it has become a representative snack in this area.
