Meet the Sydney Funnel-Web Spider—one of the most venomous spiders on Earth.
This spider is native to eastern Australia, especially within a 100 km radius of Sydney. It prefers cool, moist environments, often residing in silk-lined burrows under rocks, logs, or within garden areas.
Its name comes from its unique web: a funnel-shaped silk entrance with trip lines radiating outward. These trip lines alert the spider to passing prey, allowing it to strike swiftly.
The spider's venom contains atracotoxin, a potent neurotoxin. Bites can be fatal, especially in young children and males, who are more susceptible to severe symptoms.
However, there's no need to panic. Since the development of an antivenom in 1981, there have been no recorded fatalities from its bite . Immediate medical attention is crucial, but effective treatment is available.
So, while the Sydney Funnel-Web Spider is dangerous, with awareness and prompt action, it's a threat we can manage. Stay informed and stay safe!
