Sydney issues spider warning: Funnel-web’s emerge after heavy rainfall

- Sydney residents have been issued a new spider warning after flooding across New South Wales is expected to cause funnel webs to come out of hiding in search of higher ground.
Australian Reptile Park Head of Reptiles and Spiders Dan Rumsey said the rain and warm weather would “flush” funnel web spiders out in search of safer conditions.
“They’re potentially one of the most dangerous spiders on the planet not just here in Australia," he said.
Mr Rumsey pointed out while no one had been killed in Australia by a funnel web in a very long time, it was important to be vigilant.
Say what you will about America, we've never had a freaking spider warning.
I’ll take my chances with tornadoes!!!
@dereksjourney Exactly!!!!! You are on your game!

Imagine living in a country that issues spider warnings fucking hell
Don't they issue warning for drop bears too?
Ikr? Gross! Time for a flamethrower!
You can hide from a drop bear 😉
No, no warnings in oz, about drop bears. You take your chances with them landing on your head, like our drop spiders.
Lol!!
SCREAMMMMMM
I like how he’s like “stay away from the spiders” but “please catch one so we can milk it”
They need the males to breed more of these monsters...

Nothing scary about Australia unless you happen to find yourself in the outback...
@Luca Duka How is Putin supposed to scare you? Come to your house or what?
Only in goddamn Australia can you talk about a mass emergence of one of the worlds most venomous spiders on the planet with a relaxed, almost serene and humorous tone.
And then give advice on how to catch them 😂
Mate that that spider weighs about 3 grams yeah the average human in Australia is about75kg or 150 pounds physics tells me who will win when a size 10 boot steps on it

A "Spider Warning" is probably the most surreal and terrifying thing I've ever heard of.

“Teach the little ones not to play with spiders”
JESUS CHILDREN WHY
Right? Not to PLAYYY with spiders are you kidding me?
I used to play with spiders and now I’m absolutely terrified of them probs one bit me or smt
Exactly. Those kids are insane.
I use to let daddy long legs crawl all over me as a kid, they arent dangerous but getting older i somehow gained arachnophobia
I developed a fear as a child when I went to drink a glass of milk an there was a spider on the rim when I put it up to my face.
Most spiders are pretty timid but funnel webs KNOW they're dangerous and give you that "Oh you want a piece of me" attitude
Yeah they got that sagittarius energy 💪😂
If they give me attitude I'll put them through a table

Australia’s wildlife isn’t quite as dangerous as it is different. Life evolved there isolated from the rest of the world. South America use to have some of the same animals but they went extinct when introduced to things like big cats, canines and bears
when the Australians announce the alarm you know it's serious knowing the fact that they are accustomed to seeing cat-sized hairy tarantulas while shopping and going for a ride.

@@charlalar14 Well I absolutely love my country (I live in a small historic village in the English countryside), and would not want to live in Australia or anywhere else. If you are so miserable and dislike the country as a whole then that’s on you - it does not mean that the United Kingdom is in any way a “dump”. The points you raise are also inaccurate:
1. “Spiders or knife crime” - The United Kingdom is one of the safest nations in the world (check the homicide rates per country for example); if you want to compare it with Australia, the UK has only 0.31 more murders *per 100,000 people* each year (using 2018 figures) - to put that into perspective the US had over 4 times more murders, *per 100,000 people*, than the UK during the same time period.
2. “Boris Johnson” - if you don’t like your Prime Minister you’re luckily enough to be able to change him.
3. “Open borders” - countries with highest number of immigrants against population (2019):
- 1st. UAE
- 2nd. Saudi Arabia
- 3rd. Switzerland
- 4th. Australia
- 5th. Canada
- 6th. Austria
- 7th. United States
- 8th. United Kingdom (13%)
Just so you know Australia has a higher immigrant population than the UK (if that’s something you dislike). In my opinion I would much rather have hardworking people in this country from outside the UK, than people like you who come across as the perpetual victim and (seemingly) love to complain.
4. “Too many people” - If you didn’t know around 1% of the UK is built upon (2.3% for England specifically) in terms of: roads, buildings, railway tracks, quarries etc. The figure rises to 8% (12.6% for England specifically) if we include ‘natural’ areas that are not entirely natural: parks, sports fields, man-made waterways, gardens, golf courses etc. So there is plenty of space, plus if it’s space that you crave so highly, you do realise the countryside exists right?
5. “Miserable weather most of the time” - of course Australian weather is a completely different entity to weather in the United Kingdom, but it very much depends on ‘where’ you live within the country and ‘what’ you prefer. For example I live in Suffolk (which is Eastern England), and our weather is very much similar to our neighbours in the East (the Netherlands, Belgium and Northern-most France) - I have no complaints. The weather in the majority of England at least, is extremely mild and therefore very rarely ‘too’ hot or ‘too’ cold (which I greatly appreciate). I never found the rain to be much of a problem outside the winter months either (and the rain we do get ensures our beautiful countryside retains its characteristic lush green), and blue skies (outside of winter) I find perfectly fine where I live/ have lived. I do not think I’d survive Australian summers that’s for sure.
Just thought I’d share my opinion with you. I understand that we all like different things, for example my passion is history and therefore I love living in England (I am able to explore beautiful historic villages, market towns, smaller cities, castles, grand medieval cathedrals, stately homes that range from the Baroque to Elizabethan, manor houses, churches, ancient monuments from the Neolithic to Roman etc etc etc)... perhaps you love other things and think Australia is the place for you? Maybe so, my point is that there’s absolutely no need to degrade your own country in the process - we have so much to be proud of!
@@tamaracarter1836 well said, it’s stupid when people just label a whole country a “dump”, some parts maybe, but not all of it. Generalisation on the whole just points out ignorant people

Lol I live in the UK and there's not really any poisonous spiders here the false black widow we have yeah their bite hurts but unless you're Allergic then you'll be fine apparently their venom is similar to wasps. But if one of them was in my shoes...
bye bye shoes
Even in the UK, I do the shoe check; Every time, before putting on my shoes I say 'check for scorpions' and give them a shake. I also did that with ski-boots.
big zip lock bag will do the trick
Even a shake wont dislodge a red back. I look for webbing also after a shake.
I still dont feel safe knowing its an island 1000s of miles away
Geez Louise, I now have a major case of the itchy creepy crawlies.
2:30: "So what do you do if you get bitten, Dan?"
Dan: "Oh no problemo, mate. Stay calm, put ya head between ya legs, and kiss ya ass goodbye...'
"What should I do if I get Bit by a Spider?" ... "Hand the Spider a Bottle of Grey Poupon!" 🕷
Really funny Chris.
Hahaha fuck me dead
"So what about when we're trying to sleep? What's there activity then, Dan?"
Dan: "No worries mate. They just trying to find a female is all."
"My wife is a female. Dan. Any suggestions?"
Dan: "No worries, mate. Just put your head between her legs and and kiss her ass goodbye."
@@twotwinstom bruh 😆
If you die from the spider's bite it will be classified as a covid death....everything else is
Yip nobody dies of anything else anymore
Unless the spider gives you COVID.
@Andrew Potter only 7% of "covid deaths" are covid-only according to the CDC.
@Andrew Potter awww poor little triggered liberal
@Andrew Potter It's from the Official CDC site. So no denial.
Absolutely HORRIFYING and I live in Canada!!!!!!!!! Cringing, uughh!!! How does one live in such terrifying conditions!! Can't even imagine for a millisecond of how anyone can deal with this !!
Even the anchorman is like, tf am I doing living here 😂
Never met a Funnel Web and hope i never do. But just last year we went to Ikea and a Huntsman spider had entered our car. Realized it was on our speedometer while in the middle of traffic. We obviously froze, not knowing what to do. All the kids in the car unaware. I whispered to my hubby to keep moving for fear of it running under the seats if we tried to get it out. He did. Thank God we reached home safe and all got out of the car. Then he got it out using a long stick. Scariest day ever. Not to mention our kids find Redback spiders in the backyard everytime. Australia is riddled with these things. Am so glad i don't get to deal with crocs because i couldn't.
Oof those are big ones!
In Tassie we come across Whitetails inside a bit too often. Unfortunately since they are smaller they can be hard to tell apart from normal house spiders. I once pulled one of my pocket, I was fine but it has left me jumpy around spiders
@@sushigoose_ man i would shit my parts bro
Huntsman spiders are Huge!!
They love our pool and can make air bubbles to use like freaking scuba gear...
Sooooo.....
No matter how long you hold them under with the skimmer in attempts to drown them, they just float right back up and continue walking on water:@
And they carrry their children’s on their backs:@
Learned that one the hard way, smack big spider=hundreds of tiny spiders running in all directions, I about died.
On a side note, planting mint tends to deter them.
The mint oil irritates their pedipalps.
And I would literally burn my house down if that many spiders where in it/on it.
@@ZeddisDead yep. I was talking to the spider in whisper saying 'we are both God's children, please don't harm us'😂. Fear will make you do crazy stuff
Australia: friendly people, beautiful beaches, wonderful food and awesome scenery you will totally miss when you check into your hotel room, find a Huntsman hanging out on your wall and immediately go back home.
Try getting picked up from the airport in Sydney on your first ever visit by a mate that lives over there, and have a Huntsman crawl out from under your leg, round the top of the car right in front of the drivers face...all while you are on the highway. No thanks. Not even in the country an hour lol.
I'm an Aussie in Queensland.
I once had a Huntsman egg sac, on the ceiling above my bed. One morning I awoke to tens of thousands of baby spiders crawling all over the ceiling! It was awesome!!! They dissappeard very quickly throughout the day.
@@mrteargas8692 the fact that you stayed both impresses and horrifies me.
@@mrteargas8692 You..... you are braver than me as I would of left and probably burnt the house down.
@@mrteargas8692 it's true that Australians have completed ridden themselves of their primal fear of spiders. I would probably have a seizure if I saw that.
I live in Melbourne and, whilst I’ve been to NSW a few times and my brother lives in Sydney, I could never live there because of the funnel webs. It’s their “thickness,” their blackness, the way they rear up (as shown here) as well as their lethality.
Where I am, the main problem spider spider is the huntsman. They are not lethal, but they are bigger and more hairy than the funnel web. They’ll come into your house several times a year. You’ll see something dark out of the corner of your eye on the ceiling or the wall. Sometimes you then have to walk under it in order to get something to use to deal with it, and you always run, in case it drops on to you, but you don’t want to run too fast for fear that you create some sort of “wind” that blows it down onto you. Sometimes the spider stays in the one spot for days, and you can’t reach it to kill it. Or you go to sleep and the next morning it’s gone - it’s moved, and could be anywhere in the house. This happened to me about six weeks ago. It was originally in the hallway, it moved, then I was in the bathroom (at the toilet actually) and all of a sudden it turned the corner and was moving at a great pace towards me. I had it cornered, so I “dealt with it.”
Another huntsman story would be the time I was driving and suddenly there was a huntsman crawling across my windscreen, right in front of me. At least it’s on the outside, I thought, until I realised it wasn’t.......I remember pulling the car over and jumping out of it, fast. I do not remember what happened after I got out - I must have got someone on the street to get rid of it, but, as I said, no memory. The huntsman spider usually comes in when there has been a lot of rain (which I think is what has happened with the funnel webs and the floods - funnel webs like moist, not wet, conditions) or a run of very hot days.
The other potentially lethal spider which I think is lethal to Australia is the redback. I have come across these on three occasions. They can can usually be identified by their eggs, so that even if you don’t see the distinctive markings of the adult, you still know it’s a redback nest. The last one I found was in a corner of my garage, a typical place to find them. There is an antivenene for a redback bite, as there is for the funnel web, although as is mentioned in this video, they are low on it (and they want people to catch them so they can be milked - there is no way I would try to catch a funnel web).
I think the final significant spider experience happened about six months ago when I was tidying up around the house and I noticed a cobweb top right of my front door. I put my cobweb broom up to brush it away, but as soon as I touched it, hundreds/thousands(?) of tiny baby spiders poured out, crawling down the side of the door, along the top of it, under the eaves, over onto the windows to the right, in other words, everywhere. The spiders were white. There was no adult visible. Naturally, I didn’t go inside the front door, I went in through the back. The only other spiders we have are daddy long legs, but I think most countries have them.
Anyway, when it becomes possible, consider visiting Australia. The arachnids are a little problematic, but most of the people are not.
I tend to see more giant centipedes after heavy rain too.
