Exactly, especially that it's bs. No spider is aggressive, they are defensive. They don't want to bite you, they show their fangs to scare you away hoping you will leave it alone and he won't have to bite anyone and just go on his way.

for real, dude is super irresponsible about teaching. Fostering respect for creatures like these comes after proper education, what he was doing was demonizing for dramatization.

People fear what they don't understand. But, if you managed to have people understand something, then fear becomes respect. So he's trying to teach the little girls what the spider is by showing it to them in person and educate them on what it can do rather than actively telling them oh this is the most dangerous spider in the world, we should burn it, kill it, then watch it die! That's why he continuously ask those girls questions like "You know why this guy is in your house?" and "Do you know why they're so dangerous?" That said, after all, it's not the Spider's fault. They're only acting on millions of years-worth of instincts. It's Humans fault, and their growing cities.

[@lynnepostings]

The guy hasn't a clue with kids ! ... Dont want them to grow up with a fear of spiders ?!?! His actions & choice of wording were so inappropriately chosen ! Just because he has spent his life around spiders and loves his work - he is clearly quite naive as to how most kids would really feel ...being faced with a situation like that .. having it sprung on them in that manner !

[@fishby8070]

​@Gavin Cooke Hard it measure "deadliness" since different species use venoms in different ways and different people react to different venoms differently. The potency of the venom is also considered as well as the quantity injected into the victim. How dangerous the animal is also based on how often they appear where a lot of humans inhabit, whether if there's a antivenom available, and if the animal is aggressive. Sydney funnel webs and their close relatives are found in populated areas around Sydney where a lot of people are likely to encounter them. The venom from a single bite can be fatal if left untreated since the venom makes people spaz uncontrollably. In most other spiders, females have the more potent venom and they usually don't venture outside their nest very often. However, the roaming males in sydney funnel webs have the much more dangerous bite in this case and it's the boys that are more likely to venture into human dwellings since they're out trying to find the females. Along with their bite first attitude make them even more dangerous. Black widows and redbacks usually have a "play dead" first defense where their curl up.

[@kylestone7136]

@Gavin Cooke aggressive wise yes. Venom wise no. Brazilian wandering spiders contain much more toxic venom but sometimes they do dry bites which they don’t even release venom but its a way to stop someone from getting too close. A Sydney Funnel web is 100% releasing its venom. So in terms of aggression of releasing venom the funnel web is more dangerous

Funnel webs are actually hellhounds. They bite people in order to collect them for eternal conscious torment in hellfire. If being bitten would not have that outcome, they won’t bite, and you can pick them up and toy with them to your heart’s content. However, the instant you sin or are cursed, they will become drawn to your home. One of those kids probably said a dirty word and the spiders came to collect. Very sad, because more will probably be back before they can get right.
