Her photographs of the gargantuan insect have since been shared thousands of times online with Internet users freaking out over the fact that something this large actually exists.

"It's the first time I've seen one this big," she wrote. "What am I supposed to do with this ?"

Fortunately though she was eventually able to remove it from her house without being stung.
