Mysterious origin
Giant spider causes shock in the center of Graz
A man in Graz was given a real fright on Friday evening when he found a large, rare giant crab spider in a stairwell. Its origin is a complete mystery.
The man from Graz lives on the sixth floor of an apartment building in Hans-Sachs-Gasse, not far from Herrengasse. On Friday evening, he made a gruesome discovery in the stairwell: a large spider with legs six centimetres long had made itself at home here.
The man called the police, who in turn contacted snake and reptile expert Werner Stangl. He was able to catch the animal with a bucket and quickly gave the all-clear: It was not a similar-looking banana spider, which is poisonous and dangerous to humans. The giant crab spider, on the other hand, is harmless.
Origin remains a mystery
How it came to Graz remains a mystery. The resident himself cannot explain it. The house is almost exclusively occupied by companies. An unwanted "vacation souvenir" can therefore be ruled out.
