'Giant' Huntsman Spider Crawled inside Australian Woman's Car, Picture Goes Viral

A drive for an Australian woman named Monique Fogarty was going all well before a giant spider suddenly popped out of the top of her car from its hiding place. Sharing the picture of a spider in the “Australian spider identification page” Facebook group, Fogarty asked fellow users whether the spider that ‘almost killed her’ was a huntsman? Answering the query posted by Fogarty, the Facebook group members identified the spider seen in the picture as a huntsman spider belonging to the genus Isopedella. They are one of my all-time favourites.” Speaking about her ‘chilling’ encounter, Fogarty told News Week that she was travelling down a freeway through Canberra when she spotted this spider.
