Biggest Funnel Web Spider Ever Found Is Named After The Hemsworth Brothers
Biggest Funnel Web Spider Ever Found Is Named After The Hemsworth Brothers. A massive funnel web spider, the largest ever discovered, has been named ‘Hemsworth’ after the famous brothers. The Australian Reptile Park received the spider for its antivenom program during peak funnel web season. ’Hemsworth,' named after the Hemsworth brothers, surpasses last year’s record-holder, ‘Hercules’. Spider Keeper Emma Teni called the find “hitting the jackpot” due to the spider’s size and venom potential. Male funnel web spiders are more dangerous than females, making 'Hemsworth' an invaluable addition. Since 1981, the venom program has saved countless lives, with no recorded deaths from bites since its inception.
