funnel-web spider
Deadly Australian arachnid
A funnel-web spider is any of several spiders that build funnel-shaped webs, particularly the highly venomous Australian species whose bite can be fatal to humans without treatment.
The name comes from the silk-lined burrow or tube that narrows into a funnel: The Sydney funnel-web is among the world's most dangerous spiders.
