Spider in web 0155 Australia is home to
several highly venomous species of spiders, but this night hunting arachnid
poses no danger to humans. It, like all spiders, devours large numbers of
insects and thus plays an important role in the natural environment. Its value
in helping gardeners and farmers to control insect pest species mean that it
should be seen more as a friend than an enemy.
