BEERWAH, Australia (UPI) -- An Australian woman captured photos and video of the unusual scene outside her window -- a giant huntsman spider eating a lizard.
Melanie Jade Ottaway of Beerwah, Queensland, posted photos to Facebook showing the massive spider carrying the gecko after apparently besting the reptile in a battle to the death.
"Anyone hungry for some lunch," Ottaway wrote.
Ottaway also captured a short video of the huntsman carrying the gecko.
Huntsman spiders are known to be quite strong -- a member of the species was recently caught on video carrying an entire mouse up the side of a refrigerator.
