      Good, I’m glad someone said this already. I love the spiders in and out of my house. Most are totally harmless and keep the numbers of other bugs in check. Plus they can be really fun to watch. Granted I’m in the US, some places have really wicked spiders I wish to never meet.

      I wouldn’t take that bet with a funnel Web spider.

      that said the fear is way out of proportion to risk, yes many people are bit, but antidote is a thing. I think there’s only been a very small handful of actual spider bite deaths in Australia in decades and those that were were mainly untreated
