Queensland woman Lisa Van Kula Donovan filmed her adopted pet huntsman as it walked its long legs up her arm.

“I know those legs are what creep most people out, but that’s my favourite part!” she wrote.

Donovan named the spider Smuk, which is the Danish word for beautiful. This video is evidence that beauty certainly is in the eye of the beholder. Credit: Wannabe Entomologist via Storyful
