Surprising visit: The giant crab spider

Imagine you come home and find this huge spider at your door ... That's exactly what happened to a Reddit user! The giant crab spider provides goose bumps.

This spider is why I've never been to Australia. (Apart from the fact that I lacked time and money, but nasty crawlies like these definitely play their role too.) Well, big spiders, snakes and scorpions may not be unusual in foreign countries. But this giant crab spider provides goose bumps even in hardened Australians. A redditor found the unexpected guest in his home and posted the image on the Internet.

At first I did not dare to click on the link. But when curiosity prevailed, she was rewarded with scary goose bumps. The hairs on my arms are still standing off ... This spider is really, really huge!

She is actually quite harmless. This copy can theoretically even grief us: It has apparently hidden in the door frame in front of other enemies and therefore looked for protection with us humans only. The giant crab spider is not poisonous to humans.

Actually, they are actually very useful, because they free our home from flies and small insects that eat them. Whether one prefers flying or a giant crab spider in the house, then is probably a matter of taste. But the longer you look at the unusual visitor, the less disgusting he actually looks. As so often, these animals are certainly more afraid of us than we are of them.

Do not worry: The only genus of the giant crab spider in Central Europe is the Huschspinne and this is not nearly as big as our pictured friend. For Australians, however, such visitors are not so unusual ... We are even happy about the cold winter, because of the huge spiders in Germany can not survive! But this house angle spider is looking for shelter in winter and I do not even want to think that she might even be hiding in my apartment ...
