Sydney Funnel-web spider: world's most dangerous spider; fangs are 5~7mm long and can inject large volumes of neurotoxic venom. They can't jump, they can't run when in strike position (as in this vid), males are 6 times more poisonous than females and live for about 4 years max. Females can live for 30 years (they usually eat the males after mating). Males wander around on wet nights looking for females and sometimes come inside when the sun comes up. Sunlight and lack of moisture kills them quickly. This one is a female. The handler told us at the time she wasn't experienced enough to handle the males.
