According to a report by the local channel 9news, spiders began to appear in residential areas from March 23rd.
This is because, in the days leading up to that date, there was a sequence of torrential rains in much of the country, more precisely in New South Wales. In this way, the spiders began to seek shelter.
However, what few would realize is that the edges of their swimming pools can be a great shelter for these spiders.
It was then that residents began to notice that there were spiders around or even inside their pools. In many cases the spider ends up falling into the pool.
It is important to point out that the spider remains lethal for a long time, as they will not die when they fall into the water.
This is because the breathing of these insects is very different from ours, so they can survive in pools for up to twenty-four hours. Therefore, many people may be at risk without realizing it.

As we already mentioned, the two spider species that appeared in residential areas are on the list of the ten most dangerous in the world.
In this case, the funnel web spider has already caused thousands of deaths in the last century, until the antidote appeared in the 1950s. However, you have to be quick, as its venom can kill a child in 15 minutes.
In addition, we also have the oriental mouse spider, with a less potent venom than the previous one, but still very dangerous, especially for children.
It even stands out for being a spider that manages to spend a lot of time underwater due to the formation of air bubbles in its hair.
