Lauren Ansell FacebookIf you’re afraid of spiders then look away now!
One couple were in for a fright when they discovered a humongous spider perched on their kitchen door as they tried to cook dinner.
Lauren Ansell, from Queensland, posted a picture of the enormous arachnid on her social media and appropriately named the creature ‘Aragog’ – Harry Potter fans will know the connection!
Hollywood PicturesAlthough the spider appeared harmless – and was on the outside of the glass door – the little beast did not take too kindly when Lauren and her partner tried to move it.
Speaking to the Daily Mail Lauren said:
My partner was on the outside trying to cook our food. We didn’t want to kill it but it didn’t like us for trying to move it along.
It’s still alive and happy – I nicknamed it ‘Aragog’.
Lauren Ansell FacebookLauren revealed the picture caused a bit of a commotion among her friends when she posted it on her Facebook – they couldn’t believe what she’d captured.
Since posting the pic, Lauren’s furry little friend has moved on, she said:
It’s in the garden and we haven’t seen it since. It’s massive and was mean, but it’s alive and we didn’t want to kill it.
