The northern tree-dwelling funnel-web spider is a large spider from eastern Australia. It lives mostly in trees, from South East Queensland to the Hunter River in New South Wales. Its venom can be deadly to people, so it is important to know what it looks like.1

It lives in rotting logs, branches, and hollow furrows and pipes of trees, especially tallowwood, as well as in epiphytes. It has been recorded up to 30 m above the ground. Roving males are found after rain and at night, from late October to early February, and they shelter during the day.1

  • Has a glossy black carapace (the hard upper shell of the body).1
  • Chelicerae (fang-bearing parts), legs and abdomen are matte black or dark brown.1
  • The top of the abdomen may have a plum or purplish tinge.1
  • Body length is 40-50 mm, the largest of the funnel-web subfamily Atracinae.1
  • Cannot jump.1

Savens confundì cun: The ground-dwelling Darling Downs funnel-web spider (Hadronyche infensa) is very similar. Male northern tree-dwelling funnel-web spiders have a knobby spur on the tibia (a leg segment) of the second pair of legs, which male Darling Downs funnel-web spiders lack. Trapdoor spiders are browner overall.1

The venom is potentially deadly to humans and is regarded as the most toxic of the venoms in the family Atracidae. Symptoms can start within 15 to 20 minutes. Common symptoms include sweating, high blood pressure, a fast heart rate, muscle spasms, nausea, vomiting, changes in consciousness and pain at the bite site. Fluid in the lungs (pulmonary oedema) is frequent and comes on early.1

The venom is potentially deadly. Of eight recorded bites, five caused severe symptoms of envenomation. Because the spider is larger than the Sydney funnel-web, it may inject more venom, which could make it possibly the deadliest venomous spider in the world per volume of venom.1

Bunas novitads: ils medis han in medicament (antiserum) u in tractament per quai.1

Tge fa el, cura ch'el ha tema?

When threatened, it rears up, displays its fangs, and drops of venom appear on the fang tips.1

Sch'el morda

  • Pressure bandages and immobilising the patient can significantly delay the onset of symptoms. This remains a critical part of managing a bite from an Australian funnel-web spider.1
  • Lava la morsa e sfradenta ella. Tschertga agid medicinal, sche las dolurs èn fermas u sche la persuna na sa senta betg bain.
  • En l'Australia, tracta mintga morsa d'in grond filien nair sco morsa d'in filien funnel-web: Immobilisaziun cun squitsch: envolva ina bandascha elastica ferma sur la morsa e lura vi da l'entir member ensi, fixescha el cun ina stecca e tegna la persuna dal tut immobila, fin che l'agid arriva.
