There’s something about Taylor Momsen that animals love to bite.
The 32-year-old musician shared a video on her Instagram page, in which she’s being treated by a doctor for a venomous spider bite. “So it wouldn’t be an AC/DC tour if I didn’t get bitthis time a massive spider decided to take a chunk out of me and its venom did a number on my system so had to have the wonderful doctors in Mexico come and deliver quite the shot before the show last night,” she wrote for the caption.

In the video, Momsen jokes, “When do my superpowers kick in? That’s what I want to know.” At the end of the clip, The Pretty Reckless frontwoman shows off the bite mark while the “Spider-Man” theme song plays.

Two years ago, again while touring with AC/DC, Momsen was bitten by a bat in Spain and was treated with rabies medication. “So ROCK AND ROLL MOMENTin Sevilla Wednesday during ‘Witches Burn’ of all songs a BAT flew onto me and clung to my leg in the moment I was performing and had no idea until the incredible crowd kept screaming and pointing,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.

“You guys are pointing at something and I don’t know what you’re saying,” the “Gossip Girl” alum said from the stage in a video of the bat incident, per People. “There’s a f—ing flying bat on my leg right now. Can someone help me please? Eeek!! I must really be a witch.”

After receiving help from crew members, Momsen told the audience, “It’s alright, and the bat’s fine. He’s gonna be my new friend.”
