Imagine going to read the electric meter on the side of your house, go to brush aside what you think is dirt, only to discover that it’s really hundreds of spiders. This happened to someone in Australia who, I’m sure after screaming like an 8-year old, posted a picture to Reddit…
Members of online forum Reddit reacted with horror after a user posted a photo of the massive creepy crawly at an unknown location in the Sunshine State, accompanied with the caption: ‘Energy Australia was unable to read your meter…’
The cream and black coloured spider’s long legs covered the meter’s digital screen, while its babies surround the dials.
Rentokil Pest Control confirm it’s a Wolf Spider, which are venomous with a painful bite but not lethal. Australia enjoys the company of more than 400 sub-species of Wolf Spider.
