In a bizarre incident, a man from Australia named Jake Gray shared an image on the Facebook page called ‘Australian Spider Identification Group’, where he said that the creature has been growing inside his house at Cairns North Queensland over the last one year. The same image was shared by an Instagram handle called ‘bosslogic’ and it said that this is for real. The image shows a massive spider stuck on an empty white wall. 

In the image, the massive eight-legged creature can be seen stuck on the wall, with its tentacles spread all across. The prosoma, that is, the fused head and thorax of the spider is equally massive as the tentacles. In the caption, the Instagram user wrote, “Sending you love from Australia. Especially you. Yes this is real”.
