Huge Spider Finds New Home in Man's Pants
Occurred on February 4, 2018 / Robertson, Western Cape, South Africa
Info from Licensor: "I was down by our local river where we were fishing and having a braai with my family. While I was standing I felt something in my pocket and since I had nothing in my pocket I thought it might be some leaf debris that fell inside when I was collecting wood for the fire but when I placed my hand in my pocket nothing was inside, but something was underneath my pocket, between my pocket and my bare skin. First thought was that it still might be some leave debris but then how could that be it was quite high up VERY close to my crotch and for security reasons I decided to grab hold of everything I could, unzipped my pants and upon unfolding my pants I found this huge spider! Only then I could grab the camera and film the rest of this horror while safely releasing it. I did release it unharmed that can be seen clearly in the video."
