Squeals could be heard as the spider pushed itself out of the shoe and revealed its impressive size.
The huntsman spider prefers to live in small spaces and is known for hiding out in shoes throughout Australia.
Although the spider is not considered ‘dangerous’ their bite can be very painful and cause a lot of swelling to the site.
Ruth said the family is used to ‘creepy crawlies’ coming out of the bush since they live on a farm but the spider managed to raise alarm.

‘Creepy crawlies are always coming in from the bush,’ she said.
‘We stumbled across this huge huntsman spider in our shed and it gave (us) quite a scare.’
She also reassured viewers that the children are well trained in checking their shoes before they put them on to avoid spider bites.
‘We store our shoes outside and the kids all know to check their shoes before putting them on!,’ she said.
