Like a gymnast it flips and twists to move quickly along the desert sands!! Discovered in 2009 by scientist Ingo Rechenberg, after whom the species is named (Cebrennus rechenbergi) and officially described in 2014, the flic-flac spider is best-known for its ability to “cartwheel,” or somersault, away from predators. 9. Sydney Funnel-Web Spider Out of the 40 known funnel-web spider species, the Sydney funnel-web spider (Atrax robustus) is known as the deadliest, because it is involved in the most human fatalities. Native to urban areas and forests in eastern Australia, the creature doesn’t hesitate to bare its powerful fangs, which are capable of penetrating nails and shoes. 8. The (Mostly) Vegetarian Spider Bagheera kiplingi is a jumping spider species that lives in Latin America. Its name was clearly inspired by the Jumgle Book!! Its distinguishing characteristic, out of roughly 40,000 known spider species, is its mostly vegetarian diet. 7. Black Widow Spider The term “black widow” includes several species, who share a major common trait: extremely toxic venom. Black widow spiders come from the Latrodectus genus, which encompasses black widows, brown widows, and other, similar species. Found in temperate regions worldwide, these nocturnal, half-inch (1.27 cm) long creatures are easily identified by their bright, hourglass-shaped marking on their abdomen. 6. Scorpion-Tailed Spider Endemic to Australia, the scorpion-tailed spider (Arachnura higginsi) is a small orb-weaver measuring just 0.63 inches (16 mm) long, meaning you might have to gain an up-close look to notice what’s unique about the species. 5. Brown Recluse Found primarily throughout the southern and central United States, the brown recluse (Loxosceles reclusa) is considered one of the most venomous spiders in the country, and it’s also the most common brown spider species. 4. Fishing Spiders Whether you call them fishing spiders, raft spiders, dock spiders, or wharf spiders, chances are, you’ve encountered them near the water if you live along the East Coast of the United States. Outside North America, these creatures can be found in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand as well. 3. Brazilian Wandering Spider Also called armed spiders or banana spiders, Brazilian wandering spiders belong to the genus Phoneutria, which translates to “murderess” in Greek. The name accurately reflects the spider’s status as one of the most venomous on Earth, with a bite that can be deadly to humans, especially children. 2. Spitting Spiders Spitting spiders exist all over the world, with specimens in northern Europe usually being found in houses, with those in southern Europe often turning up underneath stones outside people’s homes. Spitting spiders capture prey by firing venom-drenched silk at their target. Shooting from the animal’s fangs in a zig-zag pattern at a top speed of 62 miles per hour (100 km/hr), the twin streams of silk are not only poisonous, but are also covered in a natural, extremely sticky glue. 1. Cyclocosmia First described in 1871 by Austrian naturalist Anton Ausserer, Cyclocosmia is a genus of trapdoor spiders consisting of four species, which are known for having a distinctive truncated, disc-shaped abdomen. They are also known as the Chinese Hourglass spider. #venomousspiders #bizarrespiders #venomouscreatures #originsexplained
