In England, this species is alien, so the law does not allow it to be released into the wild. The leg span of an arthropod reaches 30 cm.
The world’s largest poisonous hunter spider accidentally traveled eight thousand kilometers and ended up in the English city of Kingston upon Hull from China. Writes about it The Mirror.
The arthropod traveled in a shipping container for about a month.
It was noticed by workers when they opened the container. Later, the representatives of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals caught the spider and took it to the center for overexposure of animals.
It is noted that the span of the legs of these spiders can reach 30 centimeters. They are essentially hunters and feed on birds and lizards. The bite of this arthropod is not fatal to humans, but can cause heart palpitations, nausea, and headaches.
This species is also known not to weave webs, but simply to hunt down and kill its prey. Often they live in Australia, Africa, Asia, the Mediterranean basin, South and North America.
As a reminder, in 2020 Australia hunter spider crept up to one of the houses and rang the doorbell, disturbing the owners to sleep.
Scientists have created a cure for heart attack from the venom of spiders
