These were spotted near a beach in the Netherlands.

I would not want to be out waterskiing during this one in Florida.

Have you ever been on the water during one of these?

Imagine Going To Get The Mail Only To Find That Spiders Have Take Over The Mailbox

For most of us, coming across a nest of huge spiders would basically be a nightmare.

Though I think they are fascinating creatures, there’s no way I’d be okay with them living inside something that I regularly use. However, one woman couldn’t be happier about all the spiders that are currently chillin’ inside her mailbox.

When Natasha Joyce from Victoria, Australia, recently found a female huntsman spider in the box, she decided to let her — and all of her eggs — stay in there. After a few weeks, she was strangely overjoyed to find hundreds of baby spiders making themselves right at home.

Even the neighborhood kids were excited about all her new little nopes.

Huntsman spiders aren’t actually all that dangerous to humans, but their bites can be very painful. Plus, they get pretty aggressive when it comes to protecting their young.

Though most of the babies won’t survive, it definitely has to be unsettling to have that many in one spot.

You’ll Think Twice Before You Put These Foods In Your Mouth Again

If you’ve ever watched the Food Network, you know that presentation is key. As those painfully wealthy chefs say, “We eat with our eyes first.”

And that’s why this list of well-loved delicacies is a little bit confusing. We don’t think twice about chowing down on scallops, passionfruit, and chili dogs, but perhaps if we spent more time looking at them before stuffing our faces, we’d be a little more critical.

1. Blue crab

Nothing like digging into a pile of legs that appear to have been pulled from a giant, alien-faced insect!

2. Rambutan

It looks awful before you crack it open, and even worse after.

3. Scallops

Scallops look much less terrible by the time they make it to our plates.

4. Passionfruit

Passionfruit is delicious. It’s just a shame that it has to look like lumpy mucus.

5. Squid

Slimy, limp, and full of tentacles, raw squid is truly a sight to behold.

6. Truffles

As it turns out, one of the most expensive food items on Earth also looks like a turd.

7. Geoduck

Why did anyone think of eating these in the first place?

8. Ginger

One of the most beloved spices around the world also happens to look like a cross between a craggy tree and dog poop.

9. Lobster

Most people wouldn’t eat scorpions, but for some reason, none of us have any qualms with eating these.

10. Guacamole

Guac is yummy, good for you, and also looks like boogers.

11. Oysters

The first person to suck one of these down was probably a little screwed up.

12. Noni

If you turned strawberries green and then replaced their seeds with tiny eyeballs, you’d get the wonderfully creepy noni.

13. Mussels

There’s a ton of seafood on this list. I’m sensing a pattern.

14. Chili dogs

Yeah, now that I look at one of these again, I think I’m going to lay off the chili dogs from now on.

15. Shrimp

This shrimp looks like something you’d smash and pick up with a tissue if you saw it in your house.

16. Figs

I feel like this is what you’d see if you did a cross-section of someone’s liver.

17. Octopus
