Mugridge admitted to South West News Service that he let out a yelp and was completely caught off guard by the creepy-crawly surprise, stating, "It really was the last thing I was expecting."
He had traveled with his girlfriend, Emma Forrester, and had just returned to the UK when he made the shocking discovery.
An unaware Mugridge was in for a surprise when he spotted the legs of a massive spider, which was later identified as a Mexican red-rump tarantula, poking out of his jeans while unpacking his luggage.
However, upon examining the spider with chopsticks, he discovered that the Tliltocatl vegans had died during transit. Mugridge estimated that the spider had been in his pants for at least a few days.
After the spine-chilling encounter, Mugridge discovered that the Mexican red rump tarantula's bite is usually not dangerous to people.
"Although its sting is believed to be more painful than a bee sting, it's not lethal," he admitted.
