How long is a spider?
Size varies greatly by species. The smallest adult spiders are only 1 to 2 mm in length, while the largest ones (the Goliath tarantula and Giant Huntsman) can reach a length of 30 cm (1 foot) and weigh hundreds of times as much. Specimens have also been identified of a rare Samoan spider that grows to be less than half a millimeter long (0.43 mm), the smallest known spiders in the world.

So as far as I know your best bet is a Camel spider. but... before you count that, Camel spiders aren't technically spiders.-The Camel Spider is also not as large as people think. Much larger is the Goliath Bird Eating Spider- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliath_Bird_Eating_Spider actually the largest spiders are the huntsman spiders of south east asia. With a larger leg span than the goliath spider of south america.*** *** ***Just a short note to say that when the fossil of the Megarachne servinei was found in 1980, it was indeed considered by the paleontologists as the 'World's Largest Spider Ever", with a leg span of half a metre.However, in 2005, a second more complete fossil was found in Argentina, and after comparative study with the holotype, paleontologist Dr. Paul Delden concluded that Megarachne servinei was not a spider, but was in fact a sea scorpion, an eurypterid from the Pennsylvanian epoch of the Carboniferous period.

What is the bigest frog in the world?
The biggest frog in the world is aptly named the Goliath frog. It is native to a small region on Africa's west coast; Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea. Goliath frogs make their homes in fast moving rivers that flow through the rain forest. This frog's average length is 33 centimeters (13 inches) and weighs about 3 kilograms (6.6 pounds).Like many of its frog buddies, it is listed as "Vulnerable" by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. The Goliath frog was hunted for food and for the pet trade. Now it is illegal to export more than 300 Goliath frogs per year, but they are so difficult to find that usually no more than 12 are exported yearly. The Goliath frog is also threatened with habitat loss as rain forests are cut down and rivers are dammed for electricity. Demand from collectors for these frogs has decreased, but at one time, they were sold for as much as $3000 to US collectors. Unfortunately, they don't breed well in captivity, so efforts need to be made to protect their habitat so that they can recover their population.

What is the name of the worlds deadliest spider?
Banana spider or black widow.The DaddyLongLeg is the most venomest,but the jaws are to small to kill us... They do say that the Daddy-Long Legg is the most venomous and yes it's mouth is to small to bit but I have also herd it could be the angle of the body on those long clumsey leggs that just get in the way and it simply cant get low enough to bit, so if you mess with them be careful that you keep them away from any wrinkled skin or loose skin because this could help them to bit you more efficiently... by Tawni
