Australia has so many poisonous spiders, the Red Back is virtually identical to the Black Widow, also the White Tip, even smaller but the bite is really bad, causes a large raw wound that wont heal for anything up to 20 years!! and lives in houses (cracks etc). The Funnel Web is by far the worse though, more poisonous than the brown snake, 20 minutes to get an anti-venom shot!
