  White-tailed Spiders
White-tailed Spiders are vagrant hunters that live beneath bark and rocks, in leaf litter, logs and detritus in bush, gardens and houses.
They have been recorded eating curtain-web spiders (Dipluridae), daddy-long-legs spiders (Pholcidae), Redback Spiders (Theridiidae) and fl house spiders (Desidae) During summer and autumn White-tailed Spiders are often seen in and around houses where they find both sheltered nooks and crannies and plenty of their favoured fl house spider prey.
As well as the spider's venom, minor bacterial infection of the wound may be a contributory factor in such cases.

 eMJA: White-tail spider bite: a prospective study of 130 definite bites by Lampona species
Juvenile spiders caused less severe effects than adult spiders, which may be a function of either the inability of their fangs to penetrate human skin or the lesser toxicity of their venom.
In 63% of cases, the bite occurred because the spider was trapped between bed sheets, a towel or clothes left on the floor, and a person’s skin.
This explains the large proportion of white-tail spider bites occurring on proximal limbs and the trunk (69%), compared with the bites of all spiders, where half the bites occurred on distal limbs.

Male Funnel-web spiders are about five times more venomous than females, so are probably responsible for these fatalities.
Unlike some spiders they cannot swim either, but can stay alive in pools for many hours supported by air bubbles trapped amongst their body hairs (eventually they sink and drown).
The only Funnel-web spider found near Melbourne is the Victorian Funnel-web (Hadronyche modesta), which can be found in the Dandenong Ranges.
