On the last day of Summer I do a Redback Spider roundup looking at all the spider lures in the garden. It's incredible what I find! This is the third wet Summer we have had in a row and something is messing around with the spiders. I also find a Sydney Funnel Web Spider. This is the most deadly spider in the world and it's the first Funnel Web I have found at my home. It's a Male Funnel Web and maybe with all the humidity and bad weather it's wandered into the suburb looking for a mate. I can't find any Funnel Web nests at my home so I travel 15km to a park in Sydney where I played as a teenager. I remember this park was a honey pot for Funnel Web Spider and 45 years on the Funnel Webs are still there. It lets me show you the Funnel Web nests, their size and how they are disguised with leaved woven into the entrance of the Funnel Webs lair. Using my iPhone I get some pictures that show a Funnel Web in it's nest. The park I remember as a kid looks so different now, so many new established trees and the old trees look really old now. We have a new backyard friend now ripping up the lawns and garden and it's called a Bandicoot. These weird Australian nocturnal animals seem to eat anything. And what's amazing is they will dig up and eat Funnel Web Spiders. I can't help but think there is a connection between the Funnel Web Spider and Bandicoot who may have given the Funnel Web Spider a very hard time. I do find a Redback Spider and deal with some Stink Bugs. It's incredible what a little bit of flamethrower does when tidying up pests in the backyard.

Teddy & Bubble (Little Cats Kittens) help along the way, at this stage they are 10.5 months old.

    The canyon I've lived next to for 20 years used to have tons of water spiders and tarantulas near the creek and pond. Now that the waters have receded in recent years, I haven't seen a single one of either. Crazy how much stuff can change in even 20 years for me.

    Very interesting video especially about the Funnel Web Spiders. Always have had a fascination with Australia but at the same time fear your native land due to all the spiders and snakes can put you six feet under! Thank you. Safe Journey! CHOLULA!!!

    nice vid Leo... the backyard sure is looking lush this year... bit scary finding that funnel web tho... especially with them cats being so inquisitive... boiling hot water down the holes usually does the trick...if ya find any in ya yard..
  • @WintonNight
    Wow Leo what a find!!! Yeah you’re right on the money that spur means male, which means deadliest venom on the planet. Mate would love to find some spiders with you one day. Those kettle lures are a cool idea! Awesome 40 min episode 👊🏻

    I just left australia after living there for my whole life and this is one of the reminders why we left was because it was too hot and too many insects and the house prices flying through the roof.

    For some reasons I am scared of Spiders, but I love watching documentaries and videos about them. They are kinda fascinating and mysterious!
