Australian Man Discovers Huntsman Spider And Hundreds Of Its Babies In His Car's Boot

A man in Australia found the nest of one of the world's largest spider species 'giant huntsman' guarding its egg sac in his car boot.

In a gut-wrenching discovery, an Australian man has found dreadful huntsman spiders and hundreds of their babies inside his car boot. When Jared Splatt was cleaning out his car after offering to drive some friends, he came across the huntsman spider, one of the largest species of arachnids on the planet.

"I was fairly grossed out and shocked," Mr Jared told the British newspaper Metro.

"I was greeted with a giant huntsman and an egg sac on the left side. At first, with the egg sac, I thought, "Oh, that's cute; it's got a backpack,", then it dawned on me what it was," he said.

"My initial response was revulsion, but then seeing the bloody thing guarding the egg sac took it to another level," he added.
