A huge spider and hundreds of its babies have been found nestled on an electricity meter in Queensland. Members of online forum Reddit reacted with horror after a user posted a photo of the massive creepy crawly at an unknown location in the Sunshine State, accompanied with the caption: 'Energy Australia was unable to read your meter…'
The cream and black coloured spider's long legs covered the meter's digital screen, while its babies surround the dials.
Rentokil Pest Control confirm it's a Wolf Spider, which are venomous with a painful bite but not lethal. Australia enjoys the company of more than 400 sub-species of Wolf Spider.

NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE
 
Imagine if someone was able to capture all that in a bag and dump it down the back of your shirt. I bet it would feel awesome.
 
Love spiders. I saved a big spider that was getting eaten by a cicada wasp the other day. Prob a 1/4 that size.
 
Nature has a balance. It's called birds.

Most won't survive.

And if they do get big, they'll have to contend with this guy!:

If that's real I bet that person will have "estimated" bills for a very long time. lol Though since that's a smart meter it probably auto reports every hour or so.
