	Venomous funnel-web tarantula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Until the antivenom was produced in 1980, the bite of a male Sydney funnel-web spider was usually fatal to humans; 14 deaths had been recorded.
		Although the venom is deadly to primates it has little effect on other mammals, such as cats and dogs which neutralise the venom totally within 30 minutes.
		Even the bite of a female or juvenile may be serious; however, considerable variability occurs in venom toxicity between species.

	Tarantula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is a species of the venomous funnel-web tarantulas, a member of the same Suborder as the true tarantulas but not one of the Theraphosidae.
		Tarantulas can be very deceptive in regard to their speed because many of them move very slowly, creating the impression that they could not possibly move as rapidly as they actually can.
		Tarantulas inhabit tropical to temperate regions in South America and Central America, Mexico, and the southwestern United States, Asia, Southern Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

	Entomology - Bites and Stings of medically important venomous arthropods
		Venoms associated with posterior stings have evolved primarily for defense and are designed to cause immediate pain such that the victim associates the creature with an unpleasant but probably non-fatal experience and learns to avoid it on future encounters.
		Venoms associated with the feeding organs of the animal, the mouth, have evolved for handling prey and therefore are designed to bring about paralysis, widespread tissue destruction and/or death in the victim.
