The Funnel Web spider


The funnel-web spider belongs in the arachnid family, it is different to other spiders because they live in a hole.

Their habitat is mostly found in the bushes of Australia, they use holes because it easier to find their prey.They use their webs to feel vibrations that have been triggered by prey that are walking  around the predators territory.

The male funnel web spider is smaller than the female, they grow up to 25mm to 35mm male spiders are smaller but they have longer legs. Here is a picture explain how different in size between the both genders.
