I hate spiders, even though most of them are completely harmless, they creep the hell out of me. The thought of this freak of nature crawling on my arm while I am eating a turkey sandwich would be a horror show.

This arachnid — which is known as a harvestman — boasts a 33-centimeter legspan and was discovered in the Laotian province of Khammouan by Dr. Peter Jäger of Frankfurt’s Senckenberg Research Institute.

Believe it or not, it only slightly smaller than the largest known species of harvestman, which sports a 34-centimeter legspan and can be found creeping the hell out of people in South America.
