A photo showing a massive huntsman spider and hundreds of baby spiders besieging an oven has gone viral.
In the terrifying picture, which was shared on social media by an Australian, an adult huntsman spider is crawling across an oven along with hundreds of its tiny offspring.
After the photo went viral, people were quick to suggest the oven should never again be used, whereas some even urged the homeowners to move out of the house for good.
“Turn on the gas, walk away for a few hours, light a match – This house is done,” someone joked.
“Not cooking today love,” another one wrote.
Though huntsmen are not considered dangerous to humans, they are still some of the most feared spider species due to their enormous size, speed, and their ability to jump.
While they may look scary, these critters are actually beneficial to the environment and can help you clean your home by catching cockroaches and insects.
Even though bites have been reported on rare occasions, huntsmen are generally shy creatures and prefer to stay away from humans and hide in dark, secluded areas.
In another similarly terrifying photo from Australia, a massive huntsman was spotted on top of a toilet paper roll in a public bathroom.
The picture has gone viral on Reddit after it was shared by an unnamed Australian who gave the netizens a tough decision to make: To wipe or run away.
“You have to either wipe or walk away without wiping. Both choices aren’t pleasant,” he wrote.
After the photo went viral, people were quick to vow to stay away from Australia and its rich wildlife.
“I really wanna go to Australia. I also really don’t want to go to Australia,” someone wrote.
“Guess I will have to carry a spare roll in my purse if I visit Australia,” another one joked.
One user suggested: “Maybe they make toilet paper packs like we have nose tissue packs.”
