WATCH: Robert Irwin films terrifying discovery during home workout

Robert Irwin is known to be comfortable getting up close and personal with Australian wildlife.

Even the creepiest of crawlies are not out of the question for the wildlife warrior and he just proved this again with his latest Instagram video.

Taking to the social media platform, Irwin revealed an eight-legged discovery he made while doing an at-home workout and proceeded to turn it into a public service announcement for fellow Australian weight-lifters.

"Hi, this is Robert, and I'm going to show why you should always check under your weights before that next set," he said in the video.

He proceeded to move one of his weights to reveal a massive huntsman spider hiding underneath.

After moving the weight, the spider began to crawl around on the floor as Irwin continued filming.

Completely unfazed, Irwin then filmed himself just centimeters away from the arachnid joking along as he encouraged it's gym-going.

"Good form buddy, keep it up," he told the spider.

He concluded the video with a spine-tingling closeup of the furry Huntsman – the stuff of an arachnophobe's nightmares.

"He's just trying to be a good gym bro," he wrote in the video's caption.

"Always leg day for this guy," he quipped.

This isn't the only time Irwin has spooked his Instagram followers with his brave wildlife encounters.

Earlier this year, he took to Instagram with a video of him sitting on his porch with a number of massive beetles gathered on his hand.

"Okay so I'm on my veranda at home and look at what is just covering the veranda, these are rhinoceros beetles, and another one just flew through, hear that, hear those noises that they make isn't that amazing?" Irwin said in the video.
