Where does the world's deadliest spider live?

The world's deadliest spider, the Brazilian wandering spider (Phoneutria), is typically found in tropical South and Central America. They are known for their potent venom that can be lethal to humans if not treated promptly.


Is a orange spider with black spots poisonous?

Actually, the Banana spider is near-harmless. You must have it confused with the Brazilian Wandering Spider, which is also referred to as the Banana Spider but is not black and yellow. The Wanderer has the deadliest of all spider venoms, capable of paralyzing victims of it's bite. It is quite fond of Bananas for some reason, hence the nickname Banana Spider. The Banana Spider, better known as the Golden Silk Orb-Weaver, is the black and yellow spider I believe you were referring to. It holds a neurotoxin very similar to that of the black widow, however it is not nearly as potent. While the Black Widow's bite can be lethal to humans, the Golden Silk's bite would simply cause redness and irritation and would disappear within 24 hours.


Is it true that there is spider eggs in the bottom of a banana?

No, it is not true that there are spider eggs in the bottom of a banana. Bananas are grown on trees and do not harbor spider eggs. The brown spots that may sometimes appear at the end of a banana are simply a natural part of the fruit ripening process.

What kind of spider kills the most people?

Its got to be the black window spider since they are the most deadliest of spiders with venom 15 times stronger than a rattle snake and they are located on every continent except Antarctica. Possibly followed by the brown recluse spider off America Black Widows kill only 2 people per year. Adult Humans rarely die from spider bites, less than 10% of adult humans bitten by venomous spiders actually die.
