An Australian posted a frightening photo of a large hunter spider sitting on the toilet paper roll in a public toilet and shocking people around the world.
‘You have to sweep or walk away without wiping. “Both choices are not pleasant”, the unknown Aussie wrote on their photo and uploaded to the internet discussion website Reddit.
Within hours, it received more than 10,700 votes from horrific people who loved it – mostly from the US and Canada.

“I think I’ll have to play an extra role in my wallet when I visit Australia,” Redditor wrote in the comments section.
“Maybe they make toilet paper packets like we have nasal tissue packs.”
Another wrote: ‘I really want to go to Australia. I also really do not want to go to Australia. ‘
The harmless and timid insect-eating spider is frightening to humans because it is large, hairy and fast.
A mom in Sydney took photos of baby hunters in her daughter’s bedroom (photo) taken by archaeologist dr. Lizzie Lowe asked to remind people of the big and hairy spiders.
“Burn it to the ground, my parents get hunters and it makes me want to sting my eyes,” wrote one Redditor.
The picture may help explain why Australians strip the toilet paper paths of large supermarket chains almost universally during the coronavirus closures.
One redditor joked: ‘We ran out of toilet paper during the start of the pandemic and had to use hunters to wipe. When the situation becomes dire, they start mixing and fitting packages, and therefore this picture exists’.
Hunting spiders are active in February, as it is the end of the summer breeding season.

The large, long-legged spiders known for their speed have appeared in masses this season while cities across the country are plagued by arachnids.
The observations, which were widely shared on social media, brought little comfort to those with arachnophobia.
But Dr Lizzie Lowe, an arachnologist at Macquarie University, said the ‘beautiful’ creepy creepy shadows are harmless as their eyesight is poor, usually confused and not very toxic.
“Hunters do not have very good eyesight. “They see light and dark and movement, and that’s just about everything,” she told Weatherzone.
‘They will never deliberately run towards you because they are small and not very toxic. They may bite you, but they will do no harm. ‘
Dr. Lowe said that hunting is ‘super fast’, but is often confusing, and if it is very difficult for you, confusion is the simple explanation.
She said hunters are not aggressive spiders, and that they usually stay tall because they find food to eat.
Dr Lowe said hunters are ‘summer spiders’ while their eggs hatch during spring, when stimulated by warmer weather and rainy conditions.
But the baby hunter recently spotted across the country has appeared because some spiders are breeding two rounds.
Dr. Lowe warned that it is best to let baby hunters do only their own thing, as they are more likely to attack each other than to do harm.
‘When the babies hatch, they spread very quickly over one or two days. They are very cannibalistic and do not want to be eaten by their nest mates. They must also have their own food, so that it is in their own interest to disperse, ‘she said.
“There’s probably just enough food for one hunter in each house.”
Dr Lowe’s comments come after a mother in Sydney took pictures of baby spiders infiltrating her daughter’s bedroom.
She shared the frightening images with a friend who posted them on social media.
The friend said: ‘They are bigger than the little babies I saw. You can see how big they are at the window. ‘
‘They’re fast and they’re jumping and they’re big. I catch them and put them outside. However, this will get me completely out of the way. ‘
