Funnel-web Spiders: The Danger in a Nutshell
So, why are funnel-web spiders so dangerous? For starters, their venom contains a potent neurotoxin. A single bite can cause severe illness and even death. Furthermore, they are highly aggressive. During the warmer months, male funnel-webs search for females and often wander into homes.
Recognising Funnel-web Spiders
Identifying these creatures is crucial. They’re medium to large-sized spiders, dark brown to black in colour. Their bodies feature a glossy finish. A unique attribute is their burrow-style web, which often resembles a funnel. Their size varies but adults can be up to 5 cm in leg span.
