You have to love the internet; it's a place where everything from beautiful grade school teachers to little boys named Terio can become viral sensations. One has to imagine most of that has to do with wanting to escape the steaming piles of depression that we call our lives, but sometimes we just like watching shit we've never seen before, like a giant hunstman spider crawling around with a mouse in its clutches.

An Australian man named Jason Wohal posted the simple story on his Facebook page, writing, "So I am just about to leave for work about 0030 and me neighbour says 'You want to see something cool' and I say 'Hell yeah.' So we proceed to his place," Wohal continues, "and he shows me this. Huntsman trying to eat a mouse." 

If you're not fond of spiders, you've already clicked off, shouting "nope!"

Don't trip, though; their bites aren't lethal to humans (although we imagine they hurt like a MF). It's still an amazing sight to see; when's the last time you saw a spider literally carrying around (what we assume to be a dead) animal up the side of a fridge?

The best part about all of this? Jason and his neighbor have adopted the spider. "We have named him Hermie," he wrote in a recent spider-update, "and he is now running his own extermination business out of our town Coppabella. Oh and he is now paying rent."

This could be some next level savagery. Got rodents? Find yourself a brolic Huntsman spider and have them take care of your issue.
