We Guess They Aren’t Eating Today
Encountering a spider in Australia is often an unsettling experience, but finding one that seems to guard a microwave takes it to another level. This spider, likely a huntsman species, has made its home near a microwave, perhaps attracted by warmth or a steady food source like insects drawn to the appliance.

Known for their size and speed, huntsman spiders can be intimidating—attempting to coax it away with a broom might provoke a defensive reaction, potentially leading to a sudden leap towards the intruder. In such cases, it’s often wiser to give the spider its space and retreat cautiously, leaving it to its unconventional perch.
