Man uses tweezers to dig maggot from hole... and gets a nasty surprise

Michael Clarke29 January 2016

A homeowner got more than he bargained for when he tried to remove a nasty insect from a cavity in his house.

He was trying to pull a large maggot from a hole with tweezers when a huge spider leapt out at him.

He filmed the entire skin-crawling experience and posted footage online.

The enormous spider rushes out to stop him removing the maggot - which it was trying to eat.

In the gruesome clip uploaded to YouTube, Larry Williams recoils in fear after the spider appears.

The video has gone viral and has already been viewed more than 7.8 million times in the last 24 hours.

After seeing the gigantic spider burst out of the hole, one viewer, left a comment on the footage, saying: "I can't unsee that now."

Another added: "I would have smacked that spider back in the hole it should have stayed in."
