Australia has long been known for housing terrifying eight-legged creatures and video showing a huntsman spider carrying a mouse has only reaffirmed that the country is no place for arachnophobes.

Shot in Queensland, the footage was posted on Facebook by local Jason Womal yesterday, October 23.

Clearly stunned by what he saw Womal posted: “So I am just about to leave for work about [12.30am] and me neighbour says ‘you want to see something cool?’”

“I say ‘hell yeah!’. So we proceed to his place and he shows me [a] huntsman trying to eat a mouse.”
