Giant spider photobombs BBC Scotland breakfast newscast

Turn that arachnophobia up to ninety.

A ‘GIANT’ SPIDER photobombed BBC Scotland news this morning.

The insect was trapped in a camera that was capturing live images of the River Clyde and thus appeared larger than life.

Still terrifying, nonetheless.

BBC reported that after sneaking on air, the spider then “retreated with his prey”.

Oh good.
