I think you mean a Sydney funnel-web spider. These Spiders are closer relatives to tarantulas than to the typical spiders that you will see in an American garden. Among these harmless American spiders are another kind of spider that makes a funnel web. They look much different from the Australian spiders, and they are much smaller.

The Sydney funnel-web spiders are the most deadly spider in the world. There is one spider with more toxic venom, but that spider rarely does more than inject a little venom to make the human stop hurting them. The Sydney funnel-web spider will bite and hang on. Its venom is very toxic. There is one recorded case of a young child who was bitten and died within fifteen minutes. Since an antivenom was invented, nobody has died from their bites.

These spiders are very large, with a body length of about two inches. They will stand their ground when humans approach. They will stand on their hind four legs, raise their front two legs up and outstretched, and they will bare their fangs. If any creature is foolish enough to get too close, then they will bite and hang on until they have used up their venom.

Does a trapdoor spider spin a web?

Sort of. The Sydney Tunneling Spider spins a web inside the ground, and after it digs its hole, it spins a lid for the hole, and camoflages it. When prey comes around, it would step on the web, sendng vibrations which the spider feels, and quickly goes to the surface to paralyze its prey and suck the juices out of the prey!!! LOL, i like studying spiders.

It is actually the daddy longleg, but it can't bite us. So in the meaning of 'venomous as dangerous to us', it would be the Sydney Funnel Web, which, hence its name, lives in Sydney, Australia.
