The deadliest spider in Australia is the Red Back spider, closely followed by the Funnel web spider.
Funnel Web spiders only live in the tropics. Birmingham is safe from them.
They live in the desert.
There are a number of places where you could find pictures of a map where funnel web spiders can be found in Australia. You could check the books at the local library for example.
Yes they do. I have a funnel web in my back yard at the base of our wooden fence but I have yet to see the spider. I live in central Ontario and I don't know how common it is to find funnel webs here but I've lived here my whole life, in rural and urban areas, and I've never seen one before yesterday.
There are varieties of funnel-web spiders all around the world. The araneomorph funnel-web spider (the modern funnel-web spider) has been located almost *everywhere*, except the far north and Antarctica. The venomous funnel-web tarantula has been found in chiefly southern parts of 5 continents -- all except North America and Antarctica. Of these, the Australian funnel-web spider is confined to Australia. Another tarantula, the sheet funnel-web spider, is generally found in the West US and Latin America.
The Funnel Web Grass Spider. They live in the grass mostly and are poisonous but are not aggressive spiders.
This spider lives in Sydney, Australia, and within a 60 mile radius of the city. This spider is venomous and its bites are considered deadly if left untreated.
Yes, spiders eat bees.Specifically, spiders are arachnids. They include among their prey insects such as bees. Bing-ing or yahoo-ing "bee-eating spiders" will bring forth images of crab, funnel and green lynx spiders devouring dead and live bees.
Some types of spiders that live in Vermont are the Wolf spider, the Black Widow, and the Comb-footed spider. Most spiders are not poisonous but it is best to leave a spider alone if a person is not able to identify it.
YES. We just bought a house with three of these in bushes in the back yard. I'm studying now on the best way to get rid of them. Jeff Madison, MS
They seem to live alone, although male jumping spiders will try to attract the attention of females in order to mate; this may include doing a mating dance-- jumping and bobbing and making a noise that sounds like a vibration. But for the most part, even when there are other jumping spiders in the vicinity, they keep to themselves. Jumping spiders have their own webs, live where they think they can find prey, and may even attack (or eat) a fellow jumping spider if that spider is getting in the way.
