Nick Southam picked up four bananas from supermarket Lidl in Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire. He was eating one of them, when halfway through he noticed a lump on the banana skin. Getting curious, he cut open the limp after he had finished eating. "I cut the lump open after finishing it, and tiny spiders came out. It had small eggs on the side of the banana. They were dozens of the tiny things but I didn't know where they came from. They were not very active and they would not survive well in our climate," he told in a report to The Sun. Very few of the spiders were alive, as most of them had already been dead.
Nick clicked pictures of these tiny creatures and researched about it online, to realise they were among one of the dangerous ones, the Brazilian Wandering spiders, also known as a Ctenidae. "I also found out they’re the deadliest spider in the world. I find it interesting if a little scary," he told in the report.
