The Huntsperson is just big and scary - hard to comfort yourself with
the knowledge that they aren't very venomous when they've got you in
a headlock and have just eaten the dog.
The Sydney Funnel Web is aggressive and very poisonous indeed - used
to kill a few. It gave rise to one of the best black humour word
transpositions ever when a TV news presenter announced that a woman
had been, "bitten on the funnel by a Finger Web Spider."
