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!
Ope maybe not :') Photos by thebeachcomber
And a Brazilian wandering spider, Phoneutria fera:
Cutie pie!!
Look they want to be picked up and kissed :) Just kidding that's a threat display and it means you better back up or you'll regret it.

Now, here’s a pet. Unfortunately, the bite can also include extraordinary pain, increased pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and in some cases, death.

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)

images for the curious
camel spider (technically these are not actually spiders):
king baboon spider (this is specifically a tarantula, which is a kind of spider but not a true spider(belongs to the mygalomorphae infraorder rather than the araneomorphae infraorder)):
euoplos dignitas (type of armored golden trapdoor spider; not nearly as big as the image makes it look i promise you):
brazilian wandering spider (this one is actually a spider, a true spider, and a homicidal maniac all in one go! i'm kidding it's a spider the "aggression" is pretty much only gonna happen in self-defense. it may not feel like that to you if it bites you tho best of luck):
here's the thing about "aggressive" spiders
if a spider is running right at you, it's not trying to pick a fight with an animal thousands of times its size. you're so big that it didn't recognize you as an animal at all. it thought you were part of the landscape and it's trying to either take shelter or get to higher ground. if you don't want it crawling on you just kinda stomp on the floor so it can realize you're not stable ground and fuck off
#arachnids#spiders#brazilian wandering spiders get a bad rap#they're DANGEROUS sure but they aren't actively trying to kill you#do you know how big that little guy is? not very#you could squish him on accident#i would also bite someone who sat on me

Supermarket shut down due to spider that can cause long, painful erections
supermarket in Austria shuttered this week after a venomous Brazilian wandering spider was spotted wandering in the bananas, TMZ reported, citing fears that a bite from the deadly creature can cause long-lasting, painful erections.
The Penny market in Krems an der Donau — which is about 45 minutes west of Vienna, the nation’s capital — has reportedly been closed since Tuesday
