Spider measuring record 7.9cm across is almost as big as largest female collected in 2021, which was named Megaspider by Australian Reptile Park
With fangs that could pierce a human fingernail, the largest male specimen of the world’s most venomous arachnid has found a new home at the Australian Reptile Park where it will help save lives after a member of the public discovered it by chance.
The potentially deadly Sydney funnel-web spider dubbed “Hercules” was found on the central coast, about 80km north of Sydney, and was initially given to a local hospital, the Australian Reptile Park said in a statement.
