Man felt something moving during night and woke with massive spider hiding in pants

A man has told how he felt something moving in his pants and discovered a massive huntsman spider.

The TikTok user showed the arachnid sitting comfortably on the waistband of his underwear in a video he has shared.

Appearing to be sitting on the toilet, the man using the TikTok handle @dappestcontrol told his 240,000 followers of the spider that was on his pants around his ankles.

He said: “I woke up this morning with something moving in my pants and this huntsman spider was sleeping against my gonads.”

The man appeared very calm as he recounted his experience with the huntsman which are known for their great size.

"Keeping nice and warm like, look at the glitter in its eye, had a great old time," he continued.

“I thought I felt something moving.”

The TikTok video has now been watched 5.2 million times and almost 250,000 likes.

Many people have also commented, especially at the way he was so relaxed.

"How can you be so chilled about it, you would be calling me back from outer space if I found that bad boy inside my trolleys," said one.

"How is he so chill with this? I’m never going to Australia," wrote another, while a person said: "New fear unlocked."

A further comment read: "I live on the other side of the world but this goddamn video is going to have me sleeping with the lights on."

One person questioned how the spider hadn't been squashed saying: "Why is it still alive?"

And another joked: "Congrats. You're in an official relationship now. I'm so thrilled."

Huntsman spiders live in the warmer parts of the world but a shocked Brit found one among their Tesco bananas last week.

Craig Harrison, from Windsor, Berkshire, was left terrified after making the horrifying discovery of the huge female spider in his fruit, with a swollen sack of its eggs.

The 35-year-old “stumbled backwards” in shock and lost his balance after spotting the lurking arachnid - which is the world's biggest spider.

He was left even more terrified when he also discovered the huge sac of eggs the female spider was carrying - something they're known to aggressively defend on occasion.

It had travelled all the way from the grocer’s suppliers in the Dominican Republic, to the UK.
