A naked man suffered burns to one-fifth of his body when he tried to set fire to a spider at a nudist resort in the NSW southern highlands.
The 56-year-old Sydney man tried to kill what he thought was a funnel web spider by pouring petrol down the spider's burrow and igniting it with a match.
But the fuel exploded and the man was left with burns to 18 per cent of his body, on the upper leg and buttocks.
The man's lack of clothing probably contributed to the extent of his burns, the rescue chopper service said.
