Authorities in Scotland are scratching their head what to do with a poisonous giant spider, common in Australia, Africa and Asia, which was found inside a shipping container, media reports said on Monday.
The Huntsman spider was spotted by staff at a manufacturing firm in Dumbarton.
They called in the Scottish SPCA amid concerns that it could be poisonous.
The animal charity contacted an arachnid specialist who helped identify the spider, which can give a painful bite.
