Passengers on a Delta Air Lines flight waiting to fly out of Minneapolis were delayed by more than two hours due to an unwanted stowaway.
A spider was spotted between the two panes of glass in a cabin window on Delta Flight 5105 which was due to fly to Rochester.
The eight-legged creature was identified as a potentially dangerous brown recluse spider, according to news station KTTC.
Delta took no chances ‘out of abundance of caution’ and delayed the flight.
Last year a passenger was bitten by a brown recluse spider during a flight to South Africa causing a ‘horrifying’ injury.
