Spiders are a fact of life for Australians. We share our homes with them, check our shoes for them, and run away from them – and yet, we often know surprisingly little about them. When it comes to telling the dangerous ones from the harmless, the web-spinners from the burrow dwellers, the back end from the front – what do we know?

There aren't many people who enjoy the sight of a spider in their yard or home. These eight-legged creatures will often invade your home in search of food, shelter & protection from predators. All spiders can bite & cause pain & discomfort; some spider bites are more painful than others. A select few species, such as the Red-back or Sydney Funnel-web, have a high venom that can cause extreme pain & result in a trip to the hospital.
