Man, you don't know how unsettling it is to find a massive spider come dangling down in front of your computer screen while you're halfway through a game of Overwatch.
My computer is set out really weird as the HD and SSD won't fit into the computer, so it doesn't have it's case on. Not a big deal, it's just open and the monitor covers it, however the massive spider went INBETWEEN these things. For a second there I thought it was gonna jam itself in a fan or something, thank god it didn't.
When the game ended I saw it crawling on some wire, I didn't really want to kill it because I don't mind spiders as opposed to Bees/Wasps. I grabbed a glass and scooped it in there.
When I got a good look at it, it wasn't only massive but seemed like it was a new species or a variation of a huntsman spider. It had two long legs at the front, what looked like fangs from the front of the face and a black and yellow body, similar to a wasp. When I held it near my face to get a real good look it looked like it was trying to attack me.
I have no idea if this kind of spider has been documented in the UK, mostly because I've never seen spiders bigger than a fingernail at best, this was like the size of your enter key on the keyboard. Can't find a picture of it either.
Don't worry guys. Spoiler:I let it go
