The clutter, whose members gave rise to Gil’s curiosity, was being protected by a huge Brazilian Wandering Spider, the size of his hand, which is considered to be one of the world’s deadliest spiders. Gil was elated to spot such a special guest who had find a home under his bed. However, before safely relocating the spider, Gil decided to capture the majestic spider and named the photograph ‘The Spider Room.’

The Wildlife Photographer of the Year shared the post on the official Twitter handle, and in the caption, wrote, “Gil Wizen @wizentrop is the winner with this incredible Brazilian Wandering Spider.”
