A husband and wife were got the fright of their lives when they interrupted a huntsman chowing down on a possum in Tasmania.
Kiwi woman Justine Latton and her husband were visiting Mount Field National Park over the weekend when they came across the confronting scene.
Latton uploaded a photo to the Tasmanian Insects and Spiders Facebook page showing the huge huntsman dangling the possum in mid-air.

The possum the spider has chosen as its meal is called a pygmy possum and is very small compared to other species.
