Question By: Spiders tend to incite more fear than favour and even provoke phobias for some. And many a visitor to our shores has been more than a little worried about our venomous eight-legged friends.
Below you can find the list of most Dangerous Spiders of Australia
Sydney Funnel-Web Spider
Considered the world's most dangerous spider, the Sydney Funnel-Web Spider is a recurring presence in New South Wales, found both in back gardens and bushlands. It's known for its mighty fangs (that can pierce through fingers and toenails!!) and its foul temper. Funnel-web spider bites are extremely toxic and can cause the human nervous system to shut down, resulting in death in 15 minutes flat.
Redback Spider
One of our most iconic predators, Redback Spiders are found throughout Australia. They love urban areas and seek out dry, sheltered places to hide which often brings them into close contact with humans. They are commonly found in cupboards, mailboxes, even under toilet seats (which makes a pretty good argument for leaving the toilet seat up!).
Mouse Spider
Typically found in bush or burrows, but sometimes slithering their way into suburban backyards is the mouse spider (missulena). With eight species of mouse spider to reckon with, spanning the length and breadth of Australia, they are considered one of the most lethal spiders due to their venom which is similar to that of the funnel-web; saying that, no fatalities have been linked to their bites.
