The Penny Markt in Krems an der Donau closed Tuesday after the store manager spotted the spider in a banana box and immediately called the fire brigade to investigate.

The manager described the spider as about 4 inches long and colored black and red. The authorities initially suspected it was a banana spider, but previous cases of spiders in bananas from South America have identified the spider specifically as the Brazilian Wandering Spider.

I’m worried if the spider hit him, he might write another obit for himself. The last one kept me up all night following the comments. 🤣

Minus the woody, I think you’re right and all this time I thought it was the freaking bats fault.

This should become a fun thread.

No need for little blue pills?

I heard the bite, usually ends in death, after the erection thing. I don’t know if that’s true or not.

The pills for my husband worked fine doctor, but we can never shop in that grocery store again.

With all the poisonous insects and snakes and other dangerous critters why would anyone want to live there? I guess that is why in the old days it was used as a prison colony.
