Spiders are the perfect 8 legged freak killers. They strike so much spider fear (Arachnophobia) into humans across the world. In Australia a common spider is the Huntsman spider. These spiders can grow into the size of dinner plates. Huntsmen spiders tends to be active in the warmer time of the year and can have 200 offspring. Huntsmen spiders can be handled but they can also be aggressive, causing a very nasty spider bite. A sad fact is many people have died because of these spiders due to spider fright while driving a car. This simple fact seems to be totally forgotten by all the spider loving experts who frequent my spider videos on YouTube.
These spiders are beautiful creatures, perfectly suited to their natural environment feeding on small insects and bugs. They are hunted by birds, lizards and spider wasps, which then lay their eggs in the paralysed spider for the wasp lava to feed on. It’s dog eat dog in the world of nature.

Spiders (order Araneae) are air-breathing arthropods that have eight legs and chelicerae with fangs that inject venom. They are the largest order of arachnids and rank seventh in total species diversity among all other groups of organisms. Spiders are found worldwide on every continent except for Antarctica, and have become established in nearly every habitat with the exception of air and sea colonization. As of 2008, at least 43,678 spider species, and 109 families have been recorded by taxonomists; however, there has been confusion within the scientific community as to how all these families should be classified, as evidenced by the over 20 different classifications that have been proposed since 1900.
