    A man who found a bizarrely deep hole about the size of a coin in his garden was told it was home to a horrifying creature when he asked about online.<\/p>\n

    The bloke wrote on Reddit saying that the hole was located in a dirt patch in the garden in Adelaide, Australia, but it was so deep that it was impossible to see what was inside.<\/p>\n

    After sharing a picture of the hole, which he suspected could be made by a spider, people confirmed his worst nightmare. The man asked: "I'm in Adelaide Hills – can someone tell me what lives in here?"<\/p>\n

    Most people agreed that the hole looked like the home of either a trapdoor spider, which constructs burrows in the ground with cork-like trapdoors made of soil, or a wolf spider, who are agile hunters that live on the ground in leaf litter or burrows.<\/p>\n

    Both the homeowner and other commenters were unsure about about it being a spider hole given the lack of door, but the Australian Museum says this is common for both species.<\/p>\n

    Taking to Reddit, one person said: "That is probably a burrow of a trapdoor spider. Most of them don't really build doors." Another person said: "There's thousands of these holes in the park across my house. I get a kick when I see people sunbathing or sitting on the grass, blissfully unaware of the horror sitting below them."<\/p>\n

    A third commented: "We have them all through our lawn too, location Aldgate. I don\u2019t disturb them, as we have never seen the inhabitants and frankly, I'd prefer not to know as I'm afraid of spiders!"<\/p>\n
