WATCH: Terrifying moment man captures FOUR venomous false widow spiders
THIS is the nerve-shredding moment a man discovers a pack of venomous false widow spiders living in his home.
Four false widow spiders found in the kitchen
The man from High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire, shared the chilling experience with a three minute clip that show’s Britain’s most dangerous spider scurrying around jars he captured them in, itching to escape.
The four creepy-crawlies – who are believed to be from the same family – were found scuttling about in the anonymous man’s kitchen.

False widows are so named because of their resemblance to the deadly Black Widow, which is not found in the UK.
Describing the dramatic footage, the man said: “I have to be very careful with these spiders, this one's quite a big one - I hope he doesn't run off anywhere.”
The spiders are the most venomous in the UK
As you can see its a very horrible looking creature. I’ve found four today
Wearing gloves for his own protection, he then warns viewers that if “you see one of these in your house you have to be very careful”.
He adds: “As you can see its a very horrible looking creature. I’ve found four today”.
Drama ensues as he lifts the lid on one of the spiders, it scarpers away briefly leaving the film marker panicking.
He says: “Oh god, Jesus Christ, phew. Oh I won’t be letting that out again.
The spiders, which are mainly found in southern England, resemble the deadly black widow
“I wouldn’t like that crawling over me at night”.
Millions of false widows have been found across the UK and are distinguished by their shiny bulbous bodies and markings on their skull and abdomens.
There have been a string of false widow bites reported in recent years
It was first spotted in Devon, in 1879, but a plethora of false widow bites have been reported with many requiring surgery or urgent medical attention because of the venomous attack.
The spiders, which are mainly found in southern England, can grow up to 3cm across.
