An Australian man has shared a terrifying photo of a giant huntsman the size of a face perched on his living room wall after he allowed it to live in his family's home for more than a year.
Jake Gray initially saw the spider a year ago inside his Cairns home in Far North Queensland, only to find it had grown to a monstrous size 12 months later.
The spider is reportedly named Charlotte, and loves going from room to room eating bugs.
'Check out this big girl... the mighty huntsman,' he wrote.
Jake Gray found the spider on the wall of his Cairns home in north Queensland and said it has been living there for about a year
While Mr Gray seemed to be coping with the arachnid living on his property, other social media commenters were not as excited about the size of the spider.
'Is this a jungle?' One woman said.
'Bruh that's the spider's house now, make sure they have a copy of the deed,' another person wrote.
One person wrote: 'I’d have to move house and buy new stuff. It’s all charlottes now.”
Another commented: 'I will never visit Australia. You could not pay me enough money to visit that god forsaken land.'
'When people ask me why I left Australia… this. This is why. You don’t know real fear till you wake up at 4am in the morning and one of these dudes is staring at you from your ceiling,' another said.
'It's going to have to start paying rent soon and contribute to the upkeep,' one user commented.
