From funnel-webs and redbacks to huntsmen and tarantulas, Australian spiders have long held a reputation as the biggest and baddest that the world has to offer. But, how much truth does this widespread belief hold? Are Aussie spiders as big or as deadly as many would have you think? And how do they stack up against the spiders that other continents have to offer? The truth is, Australian spiders are a considerably more mediocre bunch than you might be expecting!

Cheers to the following YouTube channels for the footage I used in some parts of the video:
