Well, the infamous Brazilian Wandering Spider definitely lives after it’s name. Consi Taylor spotted the spiders after bringing them home from a supermarket. She thought the bananas were bruised at first, then noticed it was a bunch of small, baby spiders crawling around. She also noticed a white nest at the bottom of the bananas. The wandering spider is one of the top 5 deadliest spiders in Latin America.
“I screamed, it was horrible,” she told the Daily Mail. “I’m scared of spiders anyway so I had to get a friend to come round to hoover them up. Then we cleaned the floor with anti-bacterial wipes.” The spider can get as big as six inches!
Taylor and her husband spent three nights in a hotel with their two young children while their house was fumigated and deep-cleaned.
It’s a good thing they noticed the spiders when they did, because who knows how many could have hidden in the house.
