Giant spider terrorised motorists on the M3

Motorists had a truly terrifying commute when a giant spider decided to patrol the M3 in Hampshire.



The huge arachnid was spotted by a traffic camera crawling across the motorway at junction 6 near Basingstoke.

The CCTV image shows two cars on the opposite side of the road speeding away from the enormous insect.

Thankfully on closer inspection the nightmare-inducing picture proved to be a trick of the eye. It seems a small common spider made himself comfortable on the lense of the camera.

Arachnid, not insect. This mistake was even made in one of the old B&W Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes movies (WWII-era).
