Which spider is the most poisonous in the world?
The Sydney Funnel web spider is the most poisonous spider on earth, causes comas, seizures and death within the hour of the bite. Those who believe the wandering spider (or more officially, the banana spider) is the most venomous are incorrect and it is only reported the most dangerous because there are more reported bites, but it is not as venomous.
The above statement is actually incorrect. The Brazilian Wandering spider's venom is far more potent then that of a Sydney Funnel-Web. It hosts a neurotoxin that is near-identical to the one of a King Cobra and can cause paralysis in a matter of minutes. Death in roughly an hour.
The most defining difference in deadliness between the two spiders is the fact that there is a cure for the Sydney Funnel-Web spider's venom. While the is but only a treatment for the bite of a Brazilian Wandering spider. The Brazilian Wandering spider's venom can kill just as quickly as a Sydney Funnel-Web spider's venom can, but can also cause permanent damages.

Is the speckled recluse the deadliest spider on earth?
Yes they are real. They are also known as fiddle-back, violin spiders, or reaper. They are venomous spiders and are known to bite.
Sydney Funnel-web spider: world's most dangerous spider; fangs are 5~7mm long and can inject large volumes of neurotoxic venom. They can't jump, they can't run when in strike position (as in this vid), males are 6 times more poisonous than females and live for about 4 years max. Females can live for 30 years (they usually eat the males after mating). Males wander around on wet nights looking for females and sometimes come inside when the sun comes up. Sunlight and lack of moisture kills them quickly. This one is a female. The handler told us at the time she wasn't experienced enough to handle the males

Are daddy long legs related to scorpions?
It depends on exactly what species you are identifying as "daddy long legs". The name daddy long legs can refer to several species or differing classifications. These are:
* Harvestman - This species is not a true spider although it is classed as Arachnida, as it has eight legs. It is commonly called either "daddy long legs" or "grand daddy long legs" in the USA and is found worldwide, with over 6,400 species. There is a myth about these creatures being the most venomous of spiders, but its jaws are too small to bite, however this is a complete fallacy, as none of these species have venom glands or fangs. They are completely harmless and are not poisonous. * Crane fly - These are typically known as daddy long legs in the UK. They are a long legged flying insect that can be found all over the world. There are over 14,000 identified species. * Cellar Spider - This is the only true spider known by the name "daddy long legs". In fact all members of the family Pholcidae are group with this name. They are found commonly all over the world and again are easily recognised by their long legs. Again the myth says they are the most venomous spider in the world, but this is again untrue for the same reason as above.
How many babies can a garden spiders have?
Wolf Spiders have babies ranging from 100-300 at a time. From that figure only about half survive to adulthood. The babies are very small when they finally detach from the mother and might look like a black spot on the ground. Do not hesitate to kill them; they run very fast. Unlike the adults babies will roam during the day, but also come out at night. If you find wolf spiders in your home get your house fogged immediately, they do nest.
