A massive spider web crawling with dozens of huntsman spiders has been discovered inside a farmer’s tractor shed – and the footage is the stuff of nightmares.
The eerie clip shows a huge web stretched across part of the vehicle, with huntsman spiders and garden orb-weavers scuttling all over it.
Farmer Ian Groves, 70, who recorded the video and took the photos, said: “A couple of hours of night spraying is a problem for our spiders.

“They spin webs from row to row and catch flying insects, a lot of them are pests to crops.
“Now we have hundreds of spiders in our tractor shed.
“Australian tourism mightn’t like it!”
Despite their terrifying size, none of the spiders are venomous.
Huntsman spiders are known for their speed and enormous leg span but are typically harmless to humans, as reported by What’s the Jam.

Garden orb-weaver spiders, also visible in the video, are common across Australia and build large circular webs to trap flying insects – many of which damage crops and orchards.
The social media post has racked up more than 21,000 likes, with horrified commenters saying: “Let me guess, Australia?”
Another added: “Sir, leave the shed noooow!! I would never put a foot in that ever again.”

Someone else wrote: “Nope. I’m dying in the tractor from a heart attack.”
And another terrified viewer said: “Wouldn’t get in that tractor for a million bucks.”
The chilling scene was captured on a mango farm near Yeppoon in central Queensland, Australia, on 22 October this year.
