funnel webs
Deadly Sydney spiders
Funnel webs are spiders that build funnel-shaped webs, spinning a flat sheet that narrows into a tubular retreat where the spider waits for prey.
The term most often refers to Australian funnel-web spiders, particularly the Sydney funnel-web, among the world's most venomous spiders and potentially deadly to humans without antivenom treatment.
