The shocked man discovered the 10cm stowaway arachnid while unpacking
A man was left horrified after finding an African huntsman spider in his luggage at his Edinburgh home. The resident had recently returned from a work trip in Africa when he found the stowaway while unpacking at the property on Boswall Drive on Sunday, June 25.
Huntsman spiders are known for their speed but despite their large size and menacing appearance, they are not generally considered to be particularly dangerous. They will usually flee from humans rather than trying to bite them and although they do have some venom, the effects of it are lower than average for an arachnid bite.
The animal was in a good condition, despite its long journey, and has now been taken to a rescue and rehoming centre to quarantine. Once it's safe to do so, the huntsman will then be sent down to Kent to "happily live out the rest of its life" with a specialist.
