Massive huntsman spider is the stuff of nightmares

Even if you don’t have a problem with spiders this must surely be a little terrifying.

The mammoth huntsman, which has been named Charlotte, was pictured crawling over a broom on an animal rescue farm in the Brisbane Valley in Australia.

The pictures, which were taken last year, have only just emerged on social media and have left a lot of people freaking out.

The good news for Arachnophobes, if there is any, is that a huntman’s bite isn’t dangerous to humans.

The pictures emerged in the same week a man drove his car into a lake after one jumped on to his arm.

There are some suggestions the arachnid could be the biggest huntsman ever discovered.

But it would still have some way to go before reaching the size of the Goliath Birdeater which can reach up to a foot.
