Man gleefully chomps down on huntsman spider

While others would kill the spider or choose to bundle it up and throw it outside, this father of one from Michigan took a rather unexpected approach to pest control.

When you find a spider in your home, you are likely to do one of two things: kill it, or pick it up and throw it outside. That is after you have screamed and jumped up onto the furniture, of course. 

But it looks like there is another option for getting the arachnid out of your home: chew it up and then wash it down with a beer. 

The man, who remains unnamed but is reportedly a married father of one, looks into the camera as the spider rests on his hand. With a huge smile on his face, he throws the spider into his mouth and begins chomping on it. He then swallows it and takes a swig from a bottle of beer. 

Is the man a big fan of alternative sources of protein, or was this just a moment of alcohol-induced recklessness?
