Socoder -> Off Topic -> Spiders vs Moths

I voted Moths. Moths are thick bastards. If they like the light so much, why don’t they come out in the day? Plus they are worth feck all in Animal Crossing.

I agree but spiders are too wide a variety of creature. Spiders will crawl inside your corpse and eat your insides. Spiders also have Venom. Some do.

Here in England, most if not all wild spiders are quite harmless. Doesn't stop me using a glass and slice of paper to get them out of the house though.

Some of those spiders are deadly.

There's one there that if it bit you, then you would die in 8 seconds.
I was told that there was an antidote for that bite but a fat lot of good that does someone even if it is there in the house.
That person gets bit and I hope they were less than 7 seconds away from the pill.
In fact they should make a pill so that it could be carried with them.

Yep some are!

The Redback (top pic) we see quite a bit in South Australia (where I currently live), can kill but it is rare. But the pain is meant to be very bad!

The Funnel-Web (bottom pic) I have yet to see, they are mostly found on the East coast of Australia. This spider is one of the most dangerous spiders in the world...

@DNA, which spider kills you in 8 seconds?

I've heard that a spider's venom can kill a person, very slowly, over a week or two; but but whoever told you that any spider could kill a human in 8 seconds is talking bollocks.

It might be the Brazilian Wandering Spider since people still have died after the introduction of Anti-venom.
I do have the times wrong though.

It's 15 minutes for the Funnel Back.
