Funnel web spider egg sack opens in up
Spiders on their own are disconcerting enough. So how about a sack full of tiny little crawling spiders? A video of a funnel web egg being cut open to reveal hundreds of the arachnids inside was posted on the Facebook page of the Australian Reptile Park on Sunday. The park acknowledged it's the "stuff of nightmares" for some people in its post, but said it loves these finds. It's because the Australian Reptile Park is the only place in the country that milks funnel web spiders of their venom, which is used to make antivenom. The park has numerous drop-off points for spiders around the Sydney and Newcastle region, and encourages people to bring in the arachnids for collection. "Summer is funnel web season, so now is the time people will be seeing funnel webs more and more we need the public to assist us with bringing funnel web spiders to The Australian Reptile Park," Head of Reptiles and Spiders, Daniel Rumsey, said in a statement. “If you are an adult and feel safe to do so, please catch the funnel webs using a big glass jar and keeping your hands away from the spider, coax the spider into the jar and bring it to us or one of our drop-off points – you will literally be helping us save lives." The funnel web is known for being "extremely aggressive spiders and will have no hesitation in standing their ground and defending themselves." For these hundred little pals, they'll be raised at the park and milked for their venom when ready. TopicsAnimals
