Best Answer

Funnel webs have a conical shape with a wider and a narrower opening at the two ends that are mostly made by funnel webs Spiders. The web itself would look like a small tunnel going to the spider's nest. Its opening would mostly have a funnel-like shape. Be very careful as you approach a funnel web spider as they have a large number of different toxins in the venom and are potentially deadly.

What kind of spider has a funnel shaped web Is it dangerous Can it kill you?

Tarantulas are known for their intricate funnel-shaped webs, but there are species of spider such as the Wolf Spider who's web is funnel shaped as well. More than likely the spider is not dangerous, but it depends on the species of the spider you're dealing with. A common spider in the pacific northwest that create a funnel like web are the hobo spider. It can not kill you but their venom is rather potent. It can dissolve the skin surrounding the bite if the bite is not treated correctly. They are large, and the hobo is larger than the brown, and the hobo is also more dangerous. In addition to greater size, it has greater speed and the venom is more potent ------------------------- The spider he's talking about is the Sydney Funnel-Web which can kill a human within 40 minutes of the time of the bite. & The Hobo spider is not the spider that dissolves skin, the Brown Recluse is the one that dissolves skin.
