can i get some spiders that DO have very strong venom? not because i want one to be mean to but because i think spiders are really cool!!

Spiders ARE really cool.

The Sydney funnel-web spider (Atrax robustus- found only near Sydney, Australia), and Brazilian wandering spiders (genus Phoneutria - found throughout Central and South America) are, as I understand it, considered the most deadly in the world.

But both of them only have something like 13-15 recorded deaths attributed to them from around the beginning of the 1900s until antivenoms were created for them in the 80s and 90s respectively, so it's not like they're out there killing people left and right.

By comparison and depending on the source, 0-1 deaths are attributed to the brown recluse in the United States. As for black widows, zero deaths have been reported since 1983, but it's hard to find reliable data from before that. Honestly it's hard to find reliable spider bite data at all because bites are often misattributed.

Either way, spiders in general are not nearly as deadly as people seem to think they are.

Let's admire a Sydney funnel-web spider!

What a kissable little face!

There are like five or six spiders referred to as “banana spiders” and they’re all widely different. Some of them are named so because they’re yellow, and others I think got the name because they have been accidentally transported in batches of bananas (eg, some types of huntsman spider).

But, like, why are there so many??

Arachnophobes beware, i have a Brazilian wandering spider goo jit zu oc that pretends to be a tarantula and is extremely fluent in Portuguese. She's extremely cunning and unafraid to show her strength and courage. Not even Redback can beat her in a fight when she actually tries!!

(I sure hope nobody makes an icon of her /j)
