An Australian family got a fright when they spotted a huntsman spider lurking outside their door.
Lauren Ansell and her family, from the Gold Coast, weren't exactly in a hurry to leave the house when they spotted the arachnid in the way.
"It's massive and it was mean, but it's alive and we didn't want to kill it," Ansell told Daily Mail Australia.
She added that unfortunately her unlucky partner was on the other side of the glass door trying to prepare a meal.
