Passengers of a Mexican airline were amazed when they found out about an unexpected passenger.
The sight terrified some of them.
Every now and then it happens that you end up on the plane next to someone sitting next to you who is not entirely at ease.
In a plane operated by the Mexican low-cost airline Volaris, which flew from Mexico to Brazil, however, the passengers were amazed at a fellow traveler of a special kind.
The eight-legged guest caused one or two horrors before he was brought off board.
Video: Passenger discovers an animal passenger
The incident was recorded by the Instagram user "directorbrazil".
He shared the clip on the social media platform a few weeks ago, but the topic has only now been picked up by the English-language media.
The short video shows a passenger removing an uninvited guest from the plane - this is a
giant tarantula
that apparently snuck on board.
The man who caught the crawly animal carried it down the aisle in a huge, clear plastic bag.
As can be seen, many passengers reacted in astonishment to the uninvited guest and took photos of the captured animal.
The Instagram user “directorbrazil” comments on his video with the words: “There was a tarantula on our flight.
This man caught them while we were flying. "

Mixed reactions to tarantulas on board
Even in their own four walls, the presence of spiders gives many people goose bumps - but this effect is likely to be even more pronounced in a narrow aircraft cabin. At least in the comments on Instagram, some users react to this idea with horror: “
What a horror,
” says one user in clear words. Another writes: “No, thanks, I'll get my parachute quickly.” However, some users are also
fascinated by the animal
and would like to experience something like this: “That never happens to people who actually want to see a tarantula ! ”Another person simply describes the crawly animal as“ cute ”. One user also sees the incident with humor and asks: "Did the tarantula also pay for its plane ticket?"
