During our stay in Sydney, we were lucky to come across one of the World's most deadliest Spiders. When I say lucky I mean they were in a jar, so we saw them pretty safely.
They are only common around Sydney and can be highly aggressive! The mature male Sydney funnel-web spider will leave its burrow and wander off during hot humid nights, looking for a mate. At this time it is known to enter homes, lodge in footwear, clothing and swimming pools, where they can survive for several days under the water.
Now Chaggie were fortunate to not come across one other than those put in jars by Jodi before hand. Jodi managed to find a few of them in the swimming pool moments before Chaggie had a swim!
Pretty cool stuff!
