Spider fighting or spider derby (Hiligaynon: pahibag sang damang; Cebuano: paaway sa kaka) is a popular blood sport among rural Filipino children, especially in the Visayan region. The game begins by placing two spiders at opposite ends of a stick. The spiders are then prodded to move along the length of the stick until they encounter each other and fight. Most spider fight are done with a single piece of dried coconut leaf midrib (usually taken from a broom made from such midribs); Cebuano: silhig tukog, Tagalog: walis tingting) or bamboo.
