The Australian have funnel web spiders that just happen to be poisonous. In the UK we also have funnel web spiders, but they're not dangerous.<br />The BBC was correct i am afraid.Matthew Sharplesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346899778647252062.post-30702727799142636202009-12-11T21:24:58.016+00:002009-12-11T21:24:58.016+00:00you do realise that what you describe aren't f...you do realise that what you describe aren't funnel web spiders. They are tube web spiders. the bbc made a rather large error on this. If we had funnel web spiders in the uk we'd all be pretty petrified as they are the most dangerous spider in the world. Tube web spiders are not dangerous to humans. You need to do some research to distinguish the two. I'm only pointing it out cos you're giving incorrect info on the web when there is a clear difference between the two species. I hope that we are never unlucky enough to get funnel webs in our country!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
