An image going viral on Reddit comes from user TheDopeGodfather who warns about always checking inside shoes. He also shares what he has found in his sports shoe.

What you see in the photo above is the egg sac of a spider. It's not any kind of garden variety spider either, it is an egg laid by a black widow.

As you know, the insects are venomous and the Redditor has scrambled to find a solution to a possible infestation.

He has to get rid of it by burning the shoe, although another user suggests freezing it in a Ziploc bag.

"You try telling my wife that I'm going to put a shoe full of black widows in the freezer, and let me know how that goes for ya," he responds.
