Sydney Funnel Web Spider!

In Australia there is one species of spider that strikes fear into the hearts of many, and that spider is none other than the Funnel Web! Intimidating in appearance with their up to half inch long fangs, these arachnids possess a dangerous neurotoxin that is particularly deadly to humans. Without proper antivenin after a bite the Sydney Funnel Webs venom has been known to kill humans within hours. Yikes!

However after the start of an ambitious statewide antivenin program at the Australian Reptile Park no one has actually died from a Funnel Web Spider bite in over six years.

There's a great channel on here called "Dave's Little Beasties" where he goes into great detail on all sorts of massive spiders like this one.

He mentioned that it's the male of the funnel webs that actually are the most deadly for two reasons.

1. The females do not roam about and stay in one place; the males are always searching for a female and often stumble upon residential areas in their search, so are much more likely to contact humans
2. The male's venom is far more dangerous to humans than the female's

Did you determine whether it was a male or a female? If I had to guess I would say male, because it was out in the wild roaming about.

7:17 Actually Coyote and the other people in the comment section, even though it applies to other really venomous spiders like the Black Window for example, more rarely than not, its possible for them to unsuspectingly hide in footwear like slippers and socks when travelling into houses, even the likes of handwear like various gloves, and among other clothing depending on the circumstances. This is why it should be highly recommended to put them into boxes for example so they won't have to hide inside them.
