An Ohio shopper found a black widow spider on broccoli he bought at a Kroger store in Maumee, WTOL reported.
Jacob Vaughn said he discovered the spider while washing off the vegetable before cooking it.
The spider came out and started waving his hands, Vaughn told WTOL. It was pretty obvious he was alive since he was throwing his hands in every direction. He did not seem pleased."
Vaughn used tongs and put the broccoli stalk and the arachnid into a plastic baggie.
