I’m the first to admit that spiders scare me. It all started when I was playing with my toys outside as a kid. I was suddenly struck with the horrific realization that they were covered in tiny red ants. I never played in that spot again.

When I recently moved apartment, I discovered a sizable spider under my bed and spent hours trying to coax it out of my bedroom. Despite carefully guiding it out with a dustpan, I saw it scuttle across the floor later that night.

Household spiders, however, usually only grow to a certain size. If you’re particularly unlucky, you’ll find one big enough to fit in the palm of your hand. But the colossal monstrosity Twitter user Lydia found in the corner of her bedroom on August 30 really was the stuff of nightmares…
