A gargantuan huntsman spider has gone viral this week, looking like it crawled straight out of your nightmares.
The huntsman, named Charlotte, was rescued last year by an Australian animal shelter, and is now "living in peace" on their farm. She hasn't been measured, but based on the photos (and the amount of people hyperventilating on the internet), she might be one of the largest huntsmen ever found in Australia.
#1 A brave worker snapped herself getting up close with the creature and shared it online, sending arachnophobes around the world into a frenzy
#2 These pictures of a colossal huntsman spider crawling across a broom were taken on an animal rescue farm, in Queensland, Australia
#3 Huntsman spiders measure up to 15cm across the legs but are largely harmless to humans
#4 The gargantuan arachnid was dubbed Charlotte by the woman who found her.
