“murderess”. That alone
should tip you off on how lethal
they are.

neurotoxin which is recorded
to be the deadliest till date.

a day and it takes just a
fraction of that amount to kill a
human.

• Also called “assassin” spiders.
Their venom won’t kill you, but
will cause enough pain that
you would wish you were
dead.

leak blood from every open
pore of their skin.
• There is no antivenom found
for it yet and no one is sure
exactly how toxic their venom
is.

their name, as they do not
always live in solitude.

staying borrowed in dark
places - under the furniture or
amidst piles of books.

retinal failure, fever, vomiting
and can eve be fatal.

like any other eight-legged

venomous as female spiders.

sick causing nausea, fever and
severe pain.
